About Me

Hi I'm Cassandra, A birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator and certified breastfeeding counselor. I love supporting families from pregnancy through the first few months postpartum. I provide support prenatally, teaching all about birth and helping you prepare physically and mentally for labor. I offer daytime postpartum support, this is mother focused support meaning I care for you while you care for your baby. That includes nutritious meals, breastfeeding support, body and energy work, and allowing you the space you need to talk through your birth and any tough feelings you may have postpartum. I also offer childbirth classes and breastfeeding suppport separately because sometimes you just need a little extra to prepare you and get you to meet your goals. My practice is mindfulness focused, to me that means providjng guidance in keeping you and your family in the present moment. Taking each day and moment at a time and allowing yourself the ability to slow down and simply witness as your body and your baby work together through it all.

Background & qualifications

I am certified as a birth doula, childbirth educator and breastfeeding counselor through the international doula institute.
