Lactation Consultant, Prenatal Instructor, Postpartum

Doula, mother of 5 children who are all married, and

grandmother of 11 grandchildren...so far. She and her

husband of 34 years are also presently foster parents.

In 20 years she attended close to 200 births as a Birth

Doula, but does little of that kind of support now. She has

been serving the women and families of breastfeeding

babies for six plus years as an LC (lactation consultant) and has taught hundreds of

couples in over eight years in prenatal classes about the birth process, comfort

measures to use in labour, newborn needs and abilities, and family postpartum care

plans.

Using personal experiences and current research her goal is to empower individuals and

couples to seek out the answers for care and support they need during their childbearing

years so they can start their family the way they feel good about.

Parenting from the heart is important for parents. It is the best way to ensure love and

safety and security for these new little ones within their homes. Knowing what current

research supports in this area helps parents make informed choices as to what’s best for

their new family.

Wonderful families made up of happy, contented individuals are much needed assets in

today’s world and starting off with good birth, breastfeeding and postpartum adjustment

information lays a great foundation for willing and committed partners to build on.
