Why does certification matter?

Many people claim to be newborn care specialists or sleep consultants without formal training.

My certifications show that I have:

✔ Completed rigorous coursework and passed required exams

✔ Accumulated thousands of hands-on hours working with newborns and young children

✔ Met the highest safety and ethical standards, including a background check and CPR/First Aid certification

✔ Committed to ongoing education so I can provide families with the most up-to-date, research-backed guidance

A postpartum doula provides physical, emotional, and educational support to families after bringing home a new baby. Whether it’s your first child or your fifth, the early postpartum period can be overwhelming. I offer hands-on newborn care, guidance on feeding and sleep, emotional reassurance, and practical household help so you can focus on healing, bonding, and adjusting to life with your little one.

I assist with newborn care, infant sleep support, light household tasks like baby laundry and bottle cleaning, sibling care, emotional support for parents, and referrals to trusted specialists when needed. My goal is to make your postpartum experience easier, smoother, and more restful.

Absolutely not. I fully support all feeding choices—whether you’re breastfeeding, chest feeding, bottle-feeding, formula-feeding, pumping, or using a combination. My priority is helping you find what works best for you and your baby.

Need help establishing a breastfeeding routine? I’ll be your biggest cheerleader.

Choosing formula? I’ll help ensure your baby is fed, happy, and thriving.

Bottle-feeding? I’ll support you in finding the right rhythm for your family.

There’s no judgment here—only support.

Yes. You don’t have to choose between cuddles and independent sleep. Contact naps are a wonderful way to bond with your baby, and they can absolutely be part of your routine.

The key is balance—enjoying those snuggles while also practicing independent sleep when you can. This helps your baby feel secure while also building the skills to sleep in their crib or bassinet when needed. I’ll help you find the perfect mix for your family.

A Postpartum Doula supports the entire family—not just the baby. I help with baby care, parental education, household tasks, and emotional support to ensure the transition is smooth for everyone.

A Baby Nurse (often called a "night nurse" or "newborn nanny") is primarily focused on caring for the baby, often working independently of the parents.

A doula helps parents learn & feel confident in caring for their baby.

A baby nurse often takes over care so parents can rest.

Both can be helpful, but doulas provide a more well-rounded, family-centered approach that includes education and support.

Yes. I work with Carrot Fertility and other benefit providers that offer postpartum and sleep support as part of their plans. If you’re unsure if your benefits cover doula or sleep services, I can help you check eligibility.

We’ll create a schedule that works best for your family.
