About me
The birth or adoption of a baby is also the birth of new parents, new siblings, new grandparents - a whole new family structure. Every birth requires hard work, love and community.
I’m a DONA International trained postpartum doula, passionate volunteer, avid reader, “recovering” attorney, mother of three (a 21 year old son and 18 year old boy girl twins), My hope is to provide your new family with nourishing, practical and non-judgmental support during the postpartum weeks.
“Doulas come alongside the family to provide them with the support they need in real time - as they need it.” ~ Jacqueline Kelleher
