Hello, I am a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) & Postpartum Certified Doula , PCD(DONA) who proudly supports Orange County area families during the period after birth known as The Fourth Trimester. I received my education through the DONA International approved postpartum doula course taught by Postpartum Doula Educator Rosemary Mason, CCE, CLC, PCD(DONA).I am also a College Graduate and CPR Certified through the American Red Cross. My goal is to help families have a smoother transition into parenthood by being a peaceful, calm and knowledgeable presence and by encouraging new parents to listen to their inner wisdom. I also seek to connect new parents to community resources that will help them gain the support that they need and desire. Being invited into your home to help care for your family during this special time is an honor to me. Caring for and nurturing newborns is one of the best benefits of my job, but even more than that I enjoy watching new parents learn to care for their newborns and become confident in their new roles.
My own journey into motherhood began at the very young age of 15, when our son was born in June of 1996. At the age of 3 years old, our son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Aprehensive about having more children, eight years later we were blessed with the birth of our first daughter in December of 2004.And another eight years after that we were blessed yet again with the birth of our second daughter in March of 2013. I married my high school sweetheart and we have been married for 20 years. As a mother, I have experienced three c-sections and exclusively breastfed all three of my children.
I understand personally how challenging it can be to adjust to a new baby and the life changes that it brings.
