I am a traveling Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, Lactation Educator, and Sleep Consultant based in Seattle, WA. My goal is to support parents through the ups and downs of the first months of their newborn’s life. My approach is founded in respectful newborn care, establishing healthy feeding and sleep routines, and helping parents understand their baby.

I encourage physical and emotional postpartum recovery, plenty of rest for parents, and precious bonding time.

Travel and 24/7 live-in support is tailored to busy, on-the-go families who want to provide the best possible environment for their newborn while maintaining their lifestyle.

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-toddler nanny, I refined my expertise in postpartum and newborn care. Working 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.
