About me

Hello. My name is Alicia and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula in Reno NV. I provide emotional, educational, and physical support during pregnancy, at birth, and postpartum, through a transitional and sacred time in a parent's life. As a postpartum doula, I offer lactation support, if that's what you would like. I run interference with sleep issues. You can take a nap, and I can hold your baby. But there's also a lot of information in those sessions about postpartum life, such as how to give your baby their first bath or how to change diapers. I would also love to help with some light cleaning, bottle prepping, and baby laundry. I believe that there is not one right way to parent. Parenting with love, the knowledge of primal health and with evidenced based information may look different family to family. Parents are capable of choosing what is best for their own family. I’m just here to help.
