Me and My Approach

I’ve spent over 15 years supporting postpartum moms, babies, children, and families through some of their most formative and vulnerable seasons. My work today focuses on postpartum support, newborn care, and infant and early childhood sleep - but it’s grounded in a long history of hands-on experience that spans home, group care, and family systems.

 

I am a certified postpartum doula and certified newborn care specialist, currently completing my pediatric sleep consultant certification. Over the years, I’ve supported families in many different roles, including owning and operating a daycare and providing in-home care, overnight support, and family-centered guidance. This breadth of experience has shaped how I approach my work: practical, responsive, and rooted in real life rather than rigid rules or one-size-fits-all solutions.

 

I believe families do best when they feel supported, informed, and trusted. Especially in the postpartum period, parents are navigating enormous physical, emotional, hormonal, and lifestyle changes — all while caring for a brand new human. My goal is to offer calm, steady support that helps families rest, recover, and build confidence in their own instincts.

 

My approach to sleep and newborn care is gentle and individualized. I don’t believe in forcing babies into schedules that don’t fit their development or their family’s values. Instead, I work collaboratively with parents to understand their goals, their capacity, and their baby’s cues, then build sustainable routines that support both rest and connection.

 

Having worked with children across a wide range of ages, temperaments, and environments — including group care settings — I bring a realistic understanding of how sleep, regulation, and routines evolve over time. This allows me to support families not just in the early newborn weeks, but also as their child grows and their needs change.

 

At this stage in my work, I intentionally focus on postpartum, newborn, and sleep support, with limited childcare services offered selectively. This allows me to be present, grounded, and fully engaged with the families I support, while maintaining healthy boundaries that make this work sustainable.

 

Above all, I believe rest is not a reward - it’s a biological need. Supporting families through sleep, recovery, and early parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating space for healing, learning, and connection, one small step at a time.
