Hi, I’m Vanessa.
Birth and babies are my thing. It is an honor to show up for these amazing babies and their strong parents.
I am both a birth and postpartum doula which really just means I help families navigate the unknown when theres's a flood of advice from Google, Reddit, friends, family, and all the social media. I help you adjust to your new normal.
Some have called me a baby manual, a lifesaver, a sanity saver, a sleep saver, a hero, a calm in the storm, a teammate, and the best.
I help YOU figure out how YOU want to labor, birth and parent, whatever choices you want to make with no bias.
I will offer you guidance, suggestions, and real support. My job is to be in your pocket every step of the way. No matter how you want birth or how you are bringing your tiny human into this world- I got you!!
Pocket Notes
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Vanessa whom was great at making sure I was taking my meds on time as well as observing my breast feeding which my milk was just starting to come in. We were also in our cluster feeding stage which was rough to get through. She helped recommend incorporating a binky as she noticed our girl was trying to soothe herself not necessarily needing to eat. This was a GAME changer for us and honestly something we wouldn’t be able to pick up on since we had no idea what we were doing.
