Nourish

Nourish Welcome to Nourish. I am a doula providing postpartum and breastfeeding support. I am inspired by my own birth experiences.

I am a mother of two beautiful children and a Doula training with WOMBS (women offering mothers birth support). I love seeing God in the room when a baby is born. I love witnessing that moment when individuals become a family. I understand that each woman and every birth is unique, and each family's decisions and choices are to be respected. I offer antenatal and postpartum support, with special interest in breastfeeding support. In future Nourish will offer childbirth education classes to prepare you for the birth of your little one. Please feel free to contact me so that we can determine how I can assist you at this special time in your life.
