Hi! My name is Lexi, I am a postpartum doula, and soon to be birth doula! (April 2024!!!). I come from a community with very limited resources for pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My goal is to help that. I myself want to be a resource for you, to allow you to have the birth and postpartum journey that you want. I aim to provide families with resources, confidence and peace. I focus mainly on breastfeeding support, nutrition and meal prepping, postpartum prep, and most of all, just being a listening, non judgmental, supportive ear or shoulder. In my spare time I love to spend time with my 3 year old daughter, go for walks and practice yoga. Let’s make your postpartum journey peaceful, cozy, and most importantly let’s make it what you want!

Hello and welcome to Flowerbud Lactation! My name is Amanda and I am a lactation consultant with a background in Neonatal ICU and pediatrics nursing.

My mission is to inspire mothers to understand normal newborn behaviors, connect with their children through feedings and watching them blossom into confident parents. I’m so glad I found this career path for myself. Marc Antony says “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life”. I’m fortunate to say I found just that in the work I do. The experience of bringing home a new baby is still very fresh in my mind. I remember the mixture of emotions like love, joy, excitement mixed with anxiety, worry and exhaustion. Breastfeeding was so precious but also so challenging. I wouldn’t be where I am today without this experiences. I have become passionate about helping others find their confidence, provide them with tools and knowledge to reach their goals and understand their baby’s language.
