MY STORY

For more than three decades, I have supported and educated families as they prepare to welcome a new baby. My early work as a Prepared Childbirth and Newborn Nurse Educator allowed me to guide expectant parents through labor preparation and newborn care, laying the foundation for what has become my life’s work—supporting families after their baby arrives.

As a Certified Postpartum Doula, Newborn Educator, and Pediatric Sleep Consultant, my focus now centers on helping parents navigate the transition from pregnancy into parenthood with confidence and calm. I am passionate about providing education, hands-on support, and reassurance as families adjust to life with a newborn and begin to establish healthy sleep foundations.

With both professional experience and the perspective of being a mother of four daughters, I understand that every family’s journey is unique. My goal is to meet parents where they are—offering compassionate, practical support during one of life’s most transformative seasons.

"Diane is a true gem and our family is so thankful that we had her as a resource for the first few months of our daughter's life. Especially with not having family nearby, Diane stepped in to provide us with essential support as we navigated parenthood and all its beautiful and challenging moments. Diane taught us so many things such as giving baby's first bath, burping, sleep schedules, and establishing routines that were developmentally appropriate. She also cooked us meals, did laundry and light housekeeping, and even walked our dog. It was so wonderful to have such a trusting presence in our home who provided such high quality care to our baby. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to our family and friends."
