New Family Needs

Pregnancy, childbirth and new babies have been my passion since I first found out I was pregnant over 16 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 co-lead the La Leche League of Boston group.

 

I am excited to help you and your family along your journey of parenthood in an open, non-judgmental manner. From pregnancy through birth and beyond, my support, knowledge, and experience 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 your new family needs. I look forward to supporting you along this joyful, exciting, and amazing adventure! 

​

I am here to help YOU, expecting and new parents, to feel sure of yourselves in your roles by shining light on your own innate intelligence and that of your new baby. I am excited to teach you the basics, the truths, and the skills to confidently prepare for, enter, and beautifully navigate postpartum and new parenthood. 

​

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.
