Our Services

The Feeding Doula is a term I coined to describe my unique approach to family care that brings together my background in clinical lactation and holistic nutrition in a more impactful way. At its heart, it's about bringing the village back into the home.We spend so much time teaching mothers how to care for their babies, but what happens when they get home and have to put everything into practice while navigating recovery, exhaustion, and the everyday demands of motherhood?That's where The Feeding Doula comes in.Rather than simply providing education and sending you on your way, I offer practical, hands-on support that meets you where you are. Maybe that's helping you implement a feeding plan, preparing meals for your freezer, teaching your partner how to help, or taking something off your plate so you can focus on yourself and your baby.It's personalized care that moves beyond the appointment and into your everyday life, creating space for you to be cared for, too.

Lactation care focuses on the clinical side of feeding through assessments, education, techniques, and personalized care planning.The Feeding Doula focuses on the day-to-day. What do you need to feel better in your home, in your body, and throughout your day?When you book me as The Feeding Doula, I'm coming to help you accomplish something specific, whether that's preparing meals, building confidence with infant care, or taking something off your plate.These two types of care can blend together! If a feeding concern comes up during a doula visit, we can briefly address it. If it requires a more thorough assessment, we'll typically schedule a dedicated lactation appointment within the next few days. But in reality its both. Simply put, lactation care helps you build a care plan. The Feeding Doula helps you put it into practice while supporting your whole family.

These three specialties complement each other beautifully, allowing me to support not just your baby's feeding needs, but your well-being and the everyday needs of your family.Lactation care provides the clinical assessment, education, and personalized care plans to help you navigate feeding challenges.Holistic nutrition allows us to look at the bigger picture, exploring how nutrition supports maternal recovery, milk production, infant growth, gut health, and the overall well-being of both you and your baby.Doula care brings that knowledge into your everyday life through practical, hands-on support in your home. Whether that's helping you implement a feeding plan, stocking your freezer, or taking something off your plate, the focus is on making life a little easier so you can focus on your baby and your recovery.The beauty of the TLC Care Model is that these aren't three disconnected services. They work together, and your support can shift as your family's needs change.It's about bridging the gap between knowing what to do and having the support to actually do it.
