Pronouns: she/her
I am a certified Postpartum/Birth Doula (DONA) 2016, a Certified Lactation Educator and Counselor (ALPP) 2017, certified in pediatric CPR (AHA) updated 2022. I am based in Jacksonville, Florida and offer services as well in New York, and Los Angeles. In order to be up to date on the most recent research and data, I attend various workshops. Since 2021 I began my journey to become a Licensed lactation consultant with Lactation Education. I currently hold a certifcation as a CLC and breastfeeding specialist.
My passion began in 2007 attending the University of Brooklyn in New-York where I studied Education Studies with a concentration in Psychology. Upon attending Brooklyn College I began as an assistant Preschool teacher. By 2009 I knew I wanted to pursue my education further and began taking trainings to work with families one on one.
Since 2019, I have supported many families as a birth and postpartum doula. My work is parent and child focused, providing comfort and instilling confidence in the parent as they venture into their new beginning.
