Embracing your unique family~

I know that each family has their own individual needs and I enjoy the challenge of molding my support to meet each parents’ needs. My passions are supporting solo parents, LGBTQ+ parents, and parents experiencing perinatal emotions.What does my postpartum support look like?

  • emotional support for those overwhelming feelings      
  • nonjudgemental practical support with evidence based information.                              
  • CLC support with body feeding and/or bottle-feeding
  • a stretch of restorative sleep/time for a peaceful shower                
  • build healthy sleep foundation, interpret infant cues                                                 
  • resources for your individual family needs                              
  • food preparation for optimal nutrition and healing    
  • organizing/cleaning baby laundry, bottles, and pump parts

Contact me and let’s meet and talk about postpartum support! Don’t worry if you are not sure of what you need. I will describe options for you after we chat. Do you have ANY questions? It’s going to be okay!  ~ Jacquie

Jacquie helped our family tremendously. She is kind and approachable, easy to talk to and had such a lovely way of being with our babe. Still can’t believe she got our little one to fall asleep on her shoulder during some of our hardest postpartum moments! -Sam, September 2015

When I first met Jacquie, I knew she was a good fit. . She understood what I was looking for, and more importantly, what I needed in a doula. In the months leading up to the birth of my twin sons she offered support and guidance to me and my wife as we prepared our home and our hearts for two more boys (we already have one!) . After the birth of my twins, She seamlessly worked with my family, giving direction and support when needed, while avoiding stepping on anyone’s toes. She made sure I was eating healthy foods and routinely chased me with a water bottle. Jacquie offered suggestions and support (that were always backed by experience or research) around my breastfeeding goals, baby wearing and basic twin life hacks and made sure I laughed everyday as we powered through. I have no doubt that we would have somehow survived the first weeks with twins without a doula, but Jacquie made it a wonderful experience that I wish everyone could have.
