About Me
From a young age, I have always been drawn to supporting mothers and caring for babies. Growing up, I frequently helped neighbors with their babies, provided babysitting services, and worked as a part time newborn nanny during college. These experiences inspired me to pursue a nursing degree specializing in mother/baby care and pediatrics. Over the course of 12+ years, I worked as a registered nurse (RN), working on a hospital mother/baby unit and later in a pediatric office setting. While I valued my nursing career, I began to feel a desire to provide more personalized, comprehensive postpartum care that extended beyond hospitals and medical offices. The constraints of a traditional nursing role made it challenging for me to offer the continuous, family-centered support that I felt new parents truly needed during the critical postpartum period. I longed to be fully present with families, assisting them through the everyday transitions of life with a newborn in the comfort of their own homes.
When I became a mother myself, my own two postpartum experiences gave me a deeper understanding of the support families need during the postpartum period. It was during this time that I discovered the important role of postpartum doulas, inspiring me to transition from my nursing career to begin working as a postpartum doula. Since becoming a certified postpartum doula through CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association), I have fully embraced this fulfilling career path.
As a postpartum doula, I provide evidence-based physical, informational, and emotional support tailored to routine newborn and postpartum care, without offering medical care or advice. Although I no longer practice as a registered nurse, I maintain an active nursing license. My extensive medical background and years of experience working with postpartum mothers and newborns equip me with a broad knowledge base, allowing me to recognize potential medical concerns and refer families to the appropriate healthcare professionals when necessary.
Drawing from my expertise as a former newborn and postpartum nurse, I offer families valuable tips, strategies, and hands-on support to navigate the challenges of early parenthood with confidence and ease.
I am grateful to offer dedicated postpartum doula care, providing extended nurturing support to families during the postpartum period. I recognize that this time is both beautiful and challenging. Through my professional experience and personal journey as a mother, I bring valuable knowledge, insight, and understanding to support your family . It would be an honor to support your family during this special season of life!
