A little bit about me

I’m a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula now serving the area, and I’m currently offering part-time, short-term contracts for families navigating those tender first weeks and months with a new baby.

My approach is calm, compassionate, and rooted in over a decade of professional experience. I’m here to support you in the ways you need most: whether that’s hands-on help with baby care, safe sleep support, emotional encouragement, or simply giving you a few restful hours to recharge.

My mission is simple: to be a steady and loving part of a family’s village by offering hands-on newborn care and emotional support that centers the needs of both baby and parent. With warmth, skill, and deep respect, I help parents feel rested, capable, and never alone.

If you or someone you know could use a little extra support during the 4th trimester, I’d be honored to be part of your village.

I’m currently ONLY doing NCS and PpDoula placements at this time.
