About Me - Hilary Witcher (she/her)
PCD(DONA), CD(DONA), CBS
Pregnancy, childbirth and new babies have been my passion since I first found out I was pregnant over 14 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. My enthusiasm for helping people paired with my love for all things related to new family needs, fits perfectly with the work I do.
I certified as a Birth and Postpartum Doula through DONA International and certified as a Breastfeeding Specialist through Lactation Education Resources. I am also a volunteer La Leche League leader with La Leche League International.
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 build confidence in your parenting abilities, and provide support for all your new family needs. I look forward to helping and 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!
Remember: You are strong and capable and beautiful. You 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 wild and beautiful.
