My goal is to help new parents create a deeper, more satisfying experience with their newborn by fostering feelings of ease, trust, and confidence during this special transition.

With extensive education, professional training, and hands-on experience, I offer compassionate, tailored care for newborns and new parents. My calm, non-judgmental approach ensures support when it’s needed most, whether through sharing knowledge or simply offering a listening ear.

One of the aspects I enjoy most about my work is helping parents achieve their sleep goals by guiding little ones to develop self-soothing skills and healthy sleep habits. I also provide support with feeding, pumping, as well as care for preterm babies and multiples.

Thank you for taking time to visit my website. I hope to hear from you soon!
