💕Celebrating 16 years of love, laughter, and marriage today!

Marriage, like motherhood, thrives on compassion, support, and deep connection—the same values I bring into my work with families every day.

I am grateful for this journey both in my marriage and in my calling as a doula, lactation consultant, and RN. 💗

👩🏽‍🍼Taking care of others is what I do—but I’ve learned in recent years that I can’t pour from an empty cup. As a mother, wife, nurse, lactation consultant and a postpartum doula, I struggle with the challenges of balancing being a caregiver and self-care. This year I started committing to a monthly spa day has been a game-changer for my mental health and self-respect.

Mamas and doulas, when was the last time you truly prioritized you? What’s your favorite way to recharge?" 🚵🏽‍♀️💆🏽‍♀️☕

Hey Harford County moms! I’ve been working on something special—homemade lactation bites! These one-handed nutrient-dense, delicious snacks are designed to help support milk supply while giving you the energy you need during your postpartum recovery.

I'm interested in making these bites for local moms because I have personally have seen the benefits in my postpartum and lactation clients, plus they rave about how delicious they are. I even make them for myself as a snack.😆

Before I launch, I’d love your input! Would you be interested in trying lactation bites if I decide to make them for the community? These bites are good not only for the lactating moms, but all moms! They can be eaten now or frozen to be eaten after baby arrives.

Drop a comment below or vote in my stories!

✅ Yes, I would be interested in purchasing!
🤔 Possibly, could you share more information.
🤱🏽 Not for myself, but I know a new or expecting mom
that would be interested.

**Remember supplements, such as bites or teas, alone don't increase your milk supply. Removing milk is the biggest factor in helping to increase milk supply in most cases.

Being a postpartum doula is the best job in the world.💕

Yes, I get to snuggle lots of babies. But to me, that's just a bonus. 👶🏼👶🏿👶👶🏾

My favorite part is supporting the moms. 🤱🏽

I'm honored to be invited into your home during the most fragile, vulnerable and special times of your life. I'm honored to witness your transformation from your own person to someone's mother. I'm honored to listen to you process this transformation. I'm honored to bring you a cup of tea and a plate of warm food that will nourish you. And I'm even honored to wash the dishes in your sink so that you don't have to worry about them.

My job as a postpartum doula is to show up and focus on YOU at a time when most of society is focused on the baby. My job is to make sure you are feeling seen and heard. My job is to make sure you are staying hydrated (why is this so hard with a newborn around!??) and nourished and given chances to rest.

My job is show COMPASSION and provide the SUPPORT you deserve during your fourth trimester. 💕

Double the love, double the doula care! 💕

As a highly experienced postpartum doula and pediatric RN, I specialize in supporting mothers/families of multiples and preemies, ensuring both babies (and you!) get the support you deserve. 💫

🆘Survival tip for parents of twins: If one baby eats, they BOTH eat!
Even if one twin doesn't appear to be hungry, feed that one anyway. Keep them on the same schedule at all cost! ! Use a Twin Z pillow (like the one I'm using in the picture), two boppy pillows, or bouncy seats and feed them simultaneously if bottle feeding. 🤗

Are you or someone you know expecting twins? Feel free to contact me to set a no obligation consultation to find out more about the virtual and in-home support Compassionate Doula Services provides.👶🏾👶🏾

🥂It's time to celebrate the New Year, but unsure if it's safe to drink alcohol? 🎉

🍷Generally, if up to 1 standard drink per day is consumed it is not known to be harmful to the infant, especially if you wait at least 2 hours after a single drink before nursing according to the CDC.

🥃 The Dietary Guidelines for America defines a standard drink as 12 ounces of 5% beer; 8 ounces of 7% malt liquor; 5 ounces of 12% wine; or 1.5 ounces of 40%(80 proof) liquor.
Visit https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding for more information.

🍾Alcohol is present in your milk at the same level as in your blood, and rises and falls along with it. So this means that there is no need to express(pump and dump) to remove alcohol from your milk.

🥂If you enjoy a glass or two of champagne, you can breastfeed as soon as you feel the effects have worn off.

Every mother deserves compassionate support!

Giving birth is an emotional and special moment that is to be treasured. The period immediately following birth(postpartum) is equally important and should be treated with care and compassion. Compassionate Doula services makes sure every mother is pampered and supported, so that she can rest, heal properly, and bond with her new baby.
