Meet Vanessa
Owner & Doula
Ten years ago as a Head Start home visitor. Initially focusing on collecting families’ records, but my passion quickly led me to providing much more. Found myself counseling clients on birth preparation, offering postpartum support such as safe sleep and feeding guidance, and tracking babies' milestones. I assisted with acquiring breast pumps, navigating WIC and job programs, and advising on postpartum hair loss and nutrition.
The core of my work lies in the connection with you, guiding you through this significant transitional period, striving for every new family to feel secure, supported, and well-informed. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices delivered with a touch of humor. I will offer you education, support, advocacy, encouragement, and a wealth of resources to empower you.
I have undergone training with DONA and ProDoula, with additional certifications in Spinning Babies, lactation education, safe sleep and pace feeding practices. My diverse background includes experience as an Air Force veteran and a classically-trained French chef. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Family and Human Development, along with CPR and food safety certifications, I have extensive knowledge to provide you with the highest quality of care and information.
Nurturing care for you and baby
You're going through a life transition, to say the least. Your body has changed, your responsibilities are new, and you're eager to get to know your little one.
On top of that you're figuring out breastfeeding, navigating hormonal shifts, and carrying a lot more than you did just a few days ago. If there has ever been a time you need help managing everything, this might be it.
One of the most difficult parts of entering motherhood is that it’s hard to plan for- you don’t know what type of help will be best. With a postpartum doula and pocket doula care you will have help at the ready - no matter what that looks like.

Vanessa was my postpartum doula. She helped me so much in allowing me precious sleep while taking care of my little girl. Taught us tips and tricks with dealing with her and allowed us to skip the endless googling.
