Learning as much as you can about pregnancy, the birth process, comfort measures, breastfeeding/bottlefeeding, newborn behaviors, and newborn care before you give birth builds confidence and allows you to make informed decisions. I offer classes that are non-biased, non-judgmental, educational, fun, and inspiring. In addition to my experience and certifications as a Labor and Postpartum Doula, I have also been educating families since 2004. I am certified by CAPPA as a Childbirth Educator and Lactation Educator and have taken New Parent Educator, Happiest Baby on the Block and Infant Massage Instructor courses to give well-rounded educational opportunities to expecting and new families. I am currently in process of becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)
I would love the opportunity to help your family get the best start possible with this new phase of life.
COURSES
Breastfeeding Intensive for Expecting Parents
Breastfeeding/Human Feeding is recommended for at least the first year of life due to the superior benefits of human milk on both the newborn/infant and the mother/birthing person. Breastfeeding is not always intuitive and for many, it takes time and patience to perfect. In this course we will discuss how the breast makes milk, the energy required by the brain to produce milk, problems and solutions, positioning, pumping and storing, and resources for ongoing support
