Welcome, and congratulations!
If you're here, it means that you, or someone dear to you, is expecting or has a beautiful new baby. Congratulations! If you're looking for gentle, informed, and empowering overnight care, you're in the right place.
I've always wanted to be a mom, teacher, and doula.
Having my own baby last November just solidified the dream. Regardless of countless hours of caring for babies of all ages, nothing quite changed me, sharpened and focused my vision, like having my own baby. Experiencing first hand how unexpectedly complex the transition into motherhood can be, how isolating, raw, and rewarding those first few weeks were, shifted everything in me.
I firmly believe that every gift that has been given to us is meant to be given again. As the fourth trimester fog began to clear and I was blessed by increasingly long periods of sleep overnight, I realized that this was yet another asset I could provide for others, taking what I've learned and combating the worst parts of my postpartum experience--the isolation, exhaustion, and crippling fear--through service, compassion, encouragement, empowerment, and simply seeing those around me where they are.
You are not alone. This exhausting season will pass. And someday soon, you will realize that you have become not only yourself again, but a stronger version of yourself, with a capacity to love like you've never imagined.
Vision Statement
I see you. I know what those moments of desperation and exhaustion look like.
I am passionate about providing new parents with rest. It is so crucial for healing, problem solving, and being able to best enjoy this precious time with your new baby.
It is my joy to give you encouragement, and to help you feel seen and understood in such a delicate and vulnerable time.Â
And by serving, empowering, and encouraging you, I can help you gain the confidence you need to encourage and support those around you.
Together we can bring the Chippewa Valley closer to becoming that village that every new parent needs.
