My Purpose

Seven years ago I found myself crying in my bathroom shower.

I had just given birth to my first child three days prior.

My breasts were engorged and I had no idea how to remedy this issue.

My daughter was struggling to latch.

I remember thinking “Why did nobody tell me about this?”

I was angry.

I was exhausted.

I was upset that I could not feed my newborn baby.

As a new parent I had assumed breastfeeding would come naturally.

So why was I crying in my bathroom shower?

My experiences as a parent, and as a doula, showed me that families truly feel blind sided when faced with an issue postpartum. They often do not know where to turn for help and/or feel like a burden for reaching out to their provider. While holding space for families as they navigated the ebb and flow of parenthood, one thing became abundantly clear to me. We have to do a better job of supporting parents. New parents, experienced parents, adoptive parents, foster parents…they all deserve better education and support.

So here we are.

I welcome you to walk this journey with me.

I am stepping into my dream of cultivating an intentional space that will meet the needs of parents prenatally and postpartum.

This is a scared space where I will educate you, support you, validate you, and hold space for you.

A space that is safe, inclusive, and supports all family structures and dynamics.

The ultimate goal is to provide a safe, educational, collaborative environment that supports your feeding goals and autonomy.

Breathe, we’ve got you.
