Welcome to the team Liz✨

Hey y’all my name is Liz! I am a mama of a precious 2 year old and also a military spouse! I have a BS degree in kinesiology and am also a certified personal trainer! I bring a unique perspective to supporting new parents during the crucial postpartum period. My passion for newborns drives me to provide compassionate and knowledgeable care, helping families navigate the physical and emotional challenges that come with welcoming a new baby. With a focus on holistic well-being, I strive to empower parents with evidence-based information and practical support to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood. I am dedicated to creating a nurturing and safe environment for both parents and their precious little ones.

We’re excited to have you 🤗

(Morning sun helps too...)

Did you know that babies need exposure to sunlight in the daytime hours to help regulate their circadian rhythms?

After 3 months of age, babies start to develop their own melatonin cycles and need light to help them distinguish the rhythms of the day and night.

Then when darkness (or your artificially darkened rooms simulating darkness at this time of year) hits, babies will be ready for a longer stretch of sleep induced by the melatonin release.

How can you help? Lots of light during the day, particularly sunlight in the afternoons, can help your baby regulate the sleep patterns of night sleep that parents so desperately want for their own brain function.

Excited to welcome Alyssa Warlick to our team✨

Hey y’all! I’m Alyssa, I’m a wife & mom of three who keep me very busy. I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember, growing up all I ever wanted to do was follow a career that allowed me to care for others especially infants. I have a huge passion for all things pregnancy, labor, postpartum, infant care etc. I have worked in child care centers or as a nanny for about a total of 8 years, & have worked as a birth doula at a local hospital. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, going to the beach or mountains & watching my kids play the sports they love! I’m so excited for this new journey as a postpartum doula & cannot wait to serve new families ❤️
