New Family Needs is a postpartum provider placement company. We match you and your growing family with just the right postpartum doula(s), newborn care specialist(s), lactation professional(s), sleep consultant(s) and other postpartum professionals for you. Let us take the stress out of setting up your postpartum support so you can focus on your pregnancy and each other.

We've absolutely got your new family needs covered. 

​

Pregnancy, childbirth and new babies have been my passion since I first found out I was pregnant over 17 years ago. My birth and postpartum experiences - both wonderful and challenging - fed my spirit and inspired me to give back to other new parents. This passion has stayed with me through the years as I've worked with families and my own children have grown. I have both LIVED and LEARNED experience with pregnancy, birth, postpartum, newborns and new parenthood. 

I trained with DONA International for both Birth and Postpartum Doula support and am currently certified as a Postpartum Doula with DONA. I also certified as a Breastfeeding Specialist through Lactation Education Resources and trained with BACE to be a Childbirth Educator. Finally, I was also trained as a La Leche League leader and I co-led the Boston chapter for 3 years.

I am excited to help you and your family along your journey of parenthood in an open, non-judgmental manner. I teach all of our childbirth and newborn prep classes and run our postpartum parent groups. I provide curated information on postpartum to all company clients throughout your journey. 

I will match you with the postpartum provider(s) who is a great fit for you, your family, your needs, schedule etc. From pregnancy through birth and beyond, the support, knowledge, and experience of our collective group can help you become the parents you know you can be. I would love to help ease the many transitions that a new baby can bring, help you build confidence in your abilities, and provide support for all of your new family needs. I look forward to supporting you along this joyful, exciting, and amazing adventure! 

​

​New Family Needs supports and accepts ALL family types of ALL identities. I understand that everyone has their own story, background, struggles, celebrations, family makeups, goals and aspirations. I am here for YOU as you are right now and I'm excited to support you as you grow into the parent(s) you're meant to be! 

​

You are strong, capable and were made to do this! Instead of saying new parents are in the weeds, let's say new parents are in the wildflowers. Because this journey is both wild and beautiful.
