About me

My name is Vanessa and I’m a mother of two beautiful children & wife to my supportive husband Adam. We have been blessed to have been married 13 years this summer. I have worked with new mothers & newborns for over 14 years mainly in a hospital setting, then was blessed to be able to stay home as I raised my babies, when my daughter started kindergarten I decided to transition out of the hospital setting and got certified as a postpartum doula to be able to support new mothers and newborns in a more holistic way. I truly have a passion for serving and helping others. I believe the postpartum / 4th trimester stage is a crucial one that should be focused on healing, resting, bonding, nourishing, and fully embracing & enjoying those first precious moments with your new bundle of joy. My mission is to support & nurture new mothers so they can feel a weight lifted off as they savor this challenging, but rewarding time with their newborn and family.
