Trainings/Certifications: Personal postpartum experience and
breastfeeding, DONA trained Birth Doula, previous experience with
families postpartum (including twins)
Bio: I am married and have a daughter that I stay home with. I was lucky
enough to have my mother for help before, during and after her birth. Mom
still helps out quite a bit over four years later. I can barely imagine how hard
it would have been to do it all without family support. I am very fortunate and
grateful. Therefore, I have empathy and compassion for families that have
limited or no assistance. I very much enjoy working with parents and helping
them enjoy to the fullest those first precious weeks with their baby.
Philosophy: The postpartum period can be very exciting and also challenging for parents. All family members
have to adjust and form a relationship with the new member. The more practical side of caring for a newborn
(laundry, diapers, etc.) has to be incorporated into daily life as well. I believe the role of a postpartum doula can
cover many areas and it can differ from one family to another. I tailor my services to suit the family I am
currently working with and continue to adapt as needs develop. I offer non-judgmental support in many areas
such as breastfeeding, newborn care and sleep patterns, light housekeeping, preparing meals, grocery
shopping, etc.
How long do you work with families? This varies based on the needs of the family. Ideally, a prenatal visit
can be an opportunity for questions and helps establish expectations, although it is not essential. Postpartum, I
can work up to five days a week, six hours a day and gradually decrease days per week and/or hours per day. I
have also worked as few as three hours just to answer questions.
How many families do you serve a year? 4-5
What areas do you serve? The greater Charlotte area and upper South Carolina
