My Philosophy 

I believe what families need most is nurturing and gentle support. My goal is to support the new mother on an “as needs” basis so that she is better rested and able to nurture and care for her baby. I do this by focusing on the mother’s needs and helping both parents to develop confidence in their own parenting skills, while demonstrating techniques in newborn care and feeding.

I think there are many good ways to care for babies, and I do not enforce my own parenting style or insist that you adhere to a specific school of thought with respect to your baby. I trust parents to make decisions for their babies and will help you get the information you need to make wise choices.

Families with a new baby are particularly vulnerable, and it is always my goal to be helpful in a quiet, pleasant, appropriate and unobtrusive way. I am respectful of the traditions, culture and values of my clients.
