I am a traveling Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, Lactation Educator,  Sleep Consultant, and Eco-Consultant based in Seattle, WA. My goal in working with families is to guide parents through the ups and downs of life with a newborn and create a foundation of confidence as baby grows. My approach is founded in respectful newborn care, establishing healthy feeding and sleep routines, and helping parents understand their unique baby.

I optimize postpartum recovery and newborn care with expert 24/7, overnight, and travel support. There's no need to stress. From prenatal education and nursery set-up, to your first months home with baby, I make life easy. Worried about managing it all? Dreading sleepless nights? Confused by conflicting parenting advice? Hiring a newborn care specialist allows you to rest assured that you will have total support, plenty of rest, and a go-to resource for information that is tailored to you. Your family will rest at ease and enjoy bonding time with baby, knowing I'm there to handle the details.

In addition to ten years of hands-on experience, I am a lifelong learner and have studied with the top newborn and postpartum care programs. I enjoy gaining new skills and information to benefit parents, including staying up to date on the latest research and guidelines.

Babysitting as a teen and young adult helped me find my calling. While studying developmental psychology and music therapy in college, I rediscovered my joy of working with babies, young children, and parents. After supporting families as a newborn-infant nanny, I refined my expertise in postpartum and newborn care. Working and traveling alongside parents and babies feels as natural as breathing and I am incredibly fortunate to have a lasting impact for so many families.

A Newborn Care Specialist should be trained in all aspects of newborn/infant care and is able to provide independent care for the baby, in addition to parent education. Many Newborn Care Specialists offer additional expertise in postpartum care, lactation, sleep, and perinatal mental health. 

A postpartum doula supports parents with informational, physical, and emotional support. Postpartum doulas can care for the newborn under the supervision of a parent but their primary goal is to educate and support the parent as they recover and learn about their baby. Doulas may also help with household tasks such as laundry, meal prep, and dishes.
