CPSM Certified Sleep Consultant
As a Prepared Childbirth & Newborn Instructor for the past 31 years, I have been grateful to be able to educate expectant families to prepare for their labor & delivery and care of their newborn. Personally, as a mom of four grown daughters, I have always believed that while this education was very important, it did not encompass the parents’ whole childbearing story. In essence, there was something missing. For most of the families I worked with, the end of our classes together marked the end of our working relationship. Over time, the idea that I could support a family during the postpartum period was just that for me...an idea. Now, as a certified postpartum doula and sleep consultant, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with families beyond
the initial preparation for labor
and delivery, and to support them as they
make the transition from pregnancy to
parenthood.
I am Red Cross Certified in Adult and Infant CPR and I am currently co-teaching the Family and Friends Infant CPR/Choking Class at Mount Auburn Hospital.
SERVICES
INITIAL CONSULTATION FOR POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES
Free
Not everyone has the same needs or life circumstances. In fact, it’s hard to find two people who benefit from the exact same plan for their family’s wellness. Let’s get to know each other over a free 30 minute zoom call to discuss my services and make sure we’re all on the same page.
IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL POSTPARTUM DOULA SUPPORT
$50/hr
Home from the hospital....what's next?!
As a postpartum doula, I will help you to settle into the "4th trimester." Support with postpartum recovery, breastfeeding and bottle feeding, newborn and sibling care, safe sleep, soothing, meal prep and light housekeeping are just a few of the services I provide.

SLEEP SUPPORT
The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that sleep problems affect 25-50 percent of children. That's a lot of unsettled kiddos! Research shows that sleep is important for growth and development (especially in early infancy) and affects attention, mood, vocabulary acquisition, and memory.
Sleep Conditioning (also referred to as sleep shaping) includes setting up healthy sleep habits over a period of time. This includes, but is not limited to, helping a child to learn to fall asleep independently and back to sleep on their own. Questions about how I can help you? Check out my options for sleep support below.
