Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula

 I'm Alicia, an Advanced Certified traveling Newborn Care Specialist (NCSA, CACHE), Certified Maternal Support Practitioner and Postpartum Doula, Lactation Educator,  Sleep Consultant, Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, and Certified Eco-Consultant. I got my start babysitting as a teen and young adult. While working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in home care and hospice settings, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in developmental psychology, rediscovering the joy of working with young children and parents. 

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 their baby grows. My approach is founded in secure attachment and RIE, establishing sustainable routines, and helping parents understand their unique baby.

I create a sense of calm, security, and space for families to be themselves. My specialties include postpartum recovery, support for parents who experience PMADs, care of newborns with complex needs, 24/7 and overnight care, and travel support.
