the early weeks are hard. you don't have to do it alone.

trained, certified and here for you.

I was that mom.

motherhood is wild.

When I became a mom, I had no idea what I was doing. I wasn’t prepared for how intense those early weeks would feel, physically, emotionally and mentally. I felt overwhelmed, isolated and unsure, and desperately needed someone to walk me through it.

Before entering this line of work I spent eight years in the classroom as an elementary school teacher. Then after becoming a mother and supporting other mothers in my life throughout their postpartum journeys, I felt pulled into this work. I pivoted from teaching children to guiding mothers, and it has been a natural fit: my love of teaching and my own story, together in one place.

Today I support mothers as a postpartum doula and a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. My own breastfeeding challenges are a big part of why feeding support is so close to my heart.

I’m here to be the support I wish I had. I listen deeply and without judgment, make space for you to talk through your birth, and offer gentle, practical guidance on newborn care and feeding. I give you the tools and knowledge to step into postpartum and breastfeeding feeling confident and supported, not blindsided and alone.

My mission is for every mom I work with to feel seen, held and supported. You deserve it all.
