Welcoming a newborn is an exciting, yet potentially overwhelming, time! Whether you’ve been surrounded by infants your whole life or if you’ve never held a baby before, you will most certainly have questions as you plan and prepare. I would love to be your expert guide to help you along the way!

With over 30 years of professional and volunteer service, I teach responsive care and provide respectful support backed by research, evidence, and experience. I continually seek and complete complementary trainings and adjacent certifications as well as work alongside a phenomenal network of providers in the birth work field. My goal is to leave you feeling confident and empowered, setting the roots for the future success of your baby - or babies - and family!
