Hello, I am Amy! A wife to a wonderful husband and a mom to the sweetest 10 year old son. My family has been my focus for the past 10 years but my love for babies and helping families has never wavered. I have loved babies since I can remember. I am currently a certified postpartum doula and plan to continue my education and become a lactation specialist and take classes in sleep training. As a postpartum doula, my primary goal is to assist families in adjusting to their new roles and responsibilities. I offer practical support by helping with newborn care, such as feeding, bathing, and soothing techniques.
