Mind, Body & Babee Wellness
As a Certified Maternal Child Health Community Worker I am trained to support and provide evidence based education on prenatal nutrition, natural childbirth, physical and emotional support to assist honeys through labor & birth, breastfeeding initiation transitioning into a smoother postpartum journey. After attending many high risk births I was moved to create a Mind, Body, Babee model of care to provide all honeys the true evidence on childbirth transitioning into breastfeeding with a positive experience regardless of how you birth. The goal is to reduce your birthing fear by taking charge. By curating a positive birth memory I aim to increase your mindfulness, mobility of your body to birth and breastfeed your babee safely. Using health literacy combined with cultural humility I create the space to practice self awareness and self efficacy and other impactful ways to impact maternal outcomes. My services guarantee that.
​
Mind-fulness
Childbirth is more mental than it is physical. The body will follow what the mind tells it. Will your mind withstand the length of labor? By understanding the childbirth process and practicing the ability to relax your mind and body, you're able to have a more enjoyable birth. I will SUPPORT, educate, advocate, coach, and nurture you through pregnancy, birth and beyond. Answering questions of all the things in between using extensive training such as screening for perinatal mood disorders, birth guided therapy sessions and more.

Body Awareness
Prenatal nutrition and exercise EARLY in pregnancy can set the trajectory for your labor. A well fed body, movement, pliable pelvic floor muscles and gravity will help to shorten active labor. Birth planning that will not only curate a labor plan to use through each stage of labor but also through pregnancy with preferred resources such as meditation classes, daily exercises to incorporate, and prenatal yoga. But honey.....be prepared to do some daily walking, weekly squatting and hip exercises to open your hips and relax pelvic floor muscles used in labor during our prenatal visits to prepare for childbirth!

Babee-Led Postpartum
You have breastfeeding rights, too, honey! My services increase your chances of initiating breastfeeding with your babee. Its been proven too!
"Those who received the home-visiting doula intervention were significantly more likely to initiate breastfeeding (63.9% compared to 49.6%)." (NIH)
​
We don't force feed babees over here, honey with immediate latch attempts after birth, we wait for babee to show feeding cues that they are ready for the first latch by protecting instinctual reflexes between honey and babee to begin baby led nursing time after birth. My services guarantee support through the Golden Hours to assist with hand expression, breastfeeding or pumping.
​
As a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist with TOTs specialty training and postpartum doula, I offer lactation services that protect the initiation of the first latch. I provide prenatal, immediate and postpartum lactation support within the first 40 days of breastfeeding to ensure honeys get off to a great start. I assist with challenges in the early days and utilize resources if babee's needs warrant further attention beyond my scope.
