With over 20 years of infant care experience, Brooke specializes in:

🤍 Overnight newborn care

To Brooke, this work isn’t “just a job” — it’s part of who she is. Her goal is to walk alongside families so they feel confident, supported, and truly cared for during birth and the postpartum season.

We’re feeling all the feelings today! 🎉✨

Nurtured Foundation hit 100 reviews on Google, and honestly, I’m a little emotional about it. When I started this, I just wanted to help parents feel less exhausted and more confident. Seeing a hundred of you take the time to share your stories means the world to me. 🤍

While we have many reviews about our birth doula and postpartum doula services, I wanted to highlight this review from Michelle (which happens to be our 100th) because it’s such a perfect example of what "getting your sleep back" actually looks like with sleep consulting:

"We loved working with Lisa while learning to sleep train our 6 month old! She helped us stay consistent in the process and see that our baby was ready and perfectly capable to fall asleep on her own. Our baby went from crappy 30 minute naps and co sleeping to 1-2 hour naps and sleeping in her own crib. Highly recommend working with Lisa!" — Michelle A.

Let’s be real—those 30-minute "crap naps" are draining. Living in that cycle of co-sleeping when you don't want to be can feel like you’re just surviving. Seeing this sweet 6-month-old realize she could do it, and seeing her parents get those 2-hour breaks back? That’s exactly why I love this work.

To the 100 families who have trusted us: Thank you. Thank you for letting us into your homes (and your hearts). We are so lucky to do this.

If you’re currently in the trenches of short naps and broken nights, please know it doesn’t have to stay that way. Click the link in our bio—I’d love to help you get some rest. 🔗

If you’re in that season of newborn life where sleep feels impossible… you’re not alone. ❤️

This family reached out when they were exhausted and unsure how to help their little one get the rest he needed. Even with their second baby, things just felt different — because every child is different.

Jennifer came in, took the time to understand what was going on, and helped create a routine that supported both baby and parents. And the relief they felt after that first night? Real and immediate.

If your nights are feeling long and your days even longer, we’re here to help you breathe again, rest again, and feel like yourself again. You don’t have to do this on your own. 🤍

Today, we said goodbye to our team member and friend, Heather.

For over two years, Heather was an essential part of our doula team—a true team player who approached her work with unwavering dedication and profound love.

She had a special gift for families, especially during those tender, early weeks. She was our go-to for twins, always bringing a calm competence to the most challenging situations.

What many may not have known was that Heather was battling cancer throughout her entire career with us. Yet, she protected our families from her struggle, keeping her fight quiet and private so she could focus entirely on theirs. She exemplified what it means to be truly dedicated to this work, sharing her love and light until the very end.

Heather, your commitment to our clients and the doula community was a constant source of inspiration. You lived out the mission of this work every single day, and your spirit will live on in the countless families you helped guide and the teammates you inspired.

Thank you, Heather, for loving our clients. You will be missed tremendously.

✨ Remembering Our Dear Heather✨

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved team member, Heather. After a long and incredibly courageous battle with cancer, Heather passed away peacefully.

The entire Nurtured Foundation family is grieving this loss. Heather was more than just a colleague; she was an extraordinary person whose warmth, dedication, and spirit touched everyone she met.

Heather was an amazing certified postpartum doula, a true calling that reflected her deep commitment to nurturing and supporting families. Her bio perfectly captured her heart:

"Growing up, I babysat for friends and family. I tried different jobs over the years but found child care kept calling me back, and I found myself as a career nanny of 8 years. Once I learned what a doula was, I felt that is exactly what I’d like to do and quickly became certified. Helping families through one of life's most beautiful and biggest transitions is what I love to do."

Heather helped countless families navigate the beautiful, complex transition into parenthood, whether they were welcoming singletons or multiple sets of twins. Her passion, knowledge, and gentle presence made her a light for every family she served.

Beyond her professional achievements, Heather was a cherished friend, daughter, sister, and aunt. The team will deeply miss her unwavering optimism and the genuine care she showed for her team.

We send our deepest condolences to Heather’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, dear Heather. Your beautiful spirit will live on in the memories of the lives you touched and the families you helped bring into the world.

We encourage you to share your favorite memories of Heather in the comments below.

👻🎃 Happy Halloween, Little Pumpkins! 🎃👻

Wishing all our sweet families a fun and safe Halloween! Whether your little one is dressed as a sleepy bat, a tiny pumpkin, or snuggled up at home—this day is all about making memories (and maybe sneaking a little candy for yourself 😉).

✨ A few quick tips for parents of infants & toddlers:
🧡 Keep costumes cozy and breathable—comfort over cuteness always wins.
🖤 Try a mini photo session before the excitement sets in.
💛 If you’re heading out, go early—before bedtime moods creep in.
💤 Don’t stress bedtime! Routine can resume tomorrow.

From all of us at Nurtured Foundation, have a boo-tiful and restful Halloween! 🕸️👶
