Growing up, I knew that I had plans to have a child later on in life. Sure the tv shows and movies may have implied the complications of childbirth and parenthood, but no one really prepared me for what was ahead. When it was my turn, there was a sense of being overwhelmed, expectations not being met, and let’s not forget a never-ending to-do list. Suddenly my health and goals were placed on the back burner. I’m sure there are many of you out there, who have also felt this way. And I want to help. What started out as a passion, now turned career, my goals as a Certified Postpartum Doula are to help you to embrace motherhood in an encouraging, non-judgmental way, and to support you in making informed decisions based on your needs.

I am also honored to help new moms in my community as a Support Coordinator with Postpartum Support International. I believe that having a village or peer connection can really promote positive changes emotionally and socially, so I created the Little Readers Book Club in hopes that parents AND their little ones can find others like themselves and grow together. I am also a Licensed Zumbini Instructor. The Zumbini program is a wonderful activity to do with your child and as a group. Remember, you are not alone. With the right kind of support, it will get better. Take care mamas!
