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

Becoming a mother is a true miracle but also it is a big stress. Labor doesn’t always go smoothly and can be very traumatic for a mother and for a child. That’s why it’s very important to get right care and support in postpartum period. I am a mother of a preemie. And it was very hard for me not to loose my milk supply when my baby was at the NICU. When Jacquie started working with us my breastfeeding routine was very unorganized. I wasn’t producing enough milk, so I had to substitute with formula. And I was certain that it will always be like that. But Jacquie helped to believe that It is possible to stop using formula and get a good milk supply. She encouraged me to breastfeed more and use a bottle less, and not to give up when my daughter was getting fussy and didn’t want to latch. She was so used to a bottle already and also she was not strong enough to latch long enough. With Jacquie’s help I was able to achieve my goal as to breastfeed exclusively.
Also Jacquie was very helpful with finding right specialist for my daughter and for me. I wish I started using her help while I was pregnant. I could avoid many problems that way.
Jacquie is very professional and also caring person. She loves what she is doing and I think she really enjoys helping new moms. She provided me help and support that I really needed. Thank you very much for everything!!!

Jacquie’s postpartum help was INVALUABLE to me. I can honestly say that I don’t know how I would have done it without her during the first few weeks. I had a lot of pain and a general lack of confidence, especially when it came to breastfeeding and Jacquie talked me through it, gave me lots of great advice, gave me articles to read and checked up on me every day. Anytime I had a question, no matter how silly I thought I might be, she was there to answer it. One night my baby was crying for hours and I had no idea what to do. She suggested a few things to try and it worked within 5 minutes!!! Her knowledge and passion regarding all things baby is incredible.
She also has an amazing sense of positivity and reminded me that I was doing a great job (even when I didn’t think I was) which kept me going and not giving up. She was also a great help to my husband and was the only person who took the time to ask how HE was doing through all of this.
Knowing that jacquie was a phone call or text away when I needed her help and advice was priceless to me. I never realized how important post partum care was until now and I strongly suggest it to every new mom. Thank you Jacquie!!!
