Postpartum Care
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers—strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
—Barbara Katz Rothman
Services
Breastfeeding Support
I offer knowledgable guidance in establishing a positive breastfeeding relationship with your newborn. We will address baby's latch, nursing positions and ergonomics. We will review baby's feeding cues and how to know if they are getting enough. I can help with baby paced bottle feeding and the ins and outs of pumping and trouble shooting basic feeding issues.
Birth Processing
Research shows when a mom can process her birth story to an attuned listener, she is better able to solidify and store the memories in a cohesive and positive way. (Krysta Dancy) I provide a compassionate space to review and integrate your birth experience and allow the highlights to shine.
Infant Care and Infant Massage
Instruction in newborn care, soothing techniques as well as
activities to increase the infant parent bond such as infant massage.

Based on the Nurture Neuroscience method I educate parents on the benefits of nurturing parenting practices on the developing brain and offer infant sleep support.
