Tucson PostpartumTrifecta: ALL your Postpartum needs in one experienced professional. Postpartum, Newborn Nursery, Mother/Baby, Couplet Care, Community/Public Health Registered Nurse:I have worked as an RN in all of these capacities and always give the same superior and passionate care in and out of the hospital/birth center and in home. As an RN, I use my training, education, observation and clinical skills in head to toe assessments to get a complete and thorough understanding of how the mother and baby are adjusting. Postpartum nurses wear several hats – advocate, assessments, patient and family educator, counselor, nutritionist, spiritual advisor and resource liaison. CLE (Certified Lactation Educator)
Obtaining this certification came naturally after working many years with families trying to get their baby off to the best nutritional start possible. I provide support by knowing the anatomy of physiology of lactation and assisting mothers with breast feeding, proper positioning, identifying signs of correct latch-on, recognizing feeding/hunger cues, assessing infant hydration status and pumping. I teach the mother about breast and ni**le care along with the importance of proper nutrition and rest. Help to make the partner and other family members feel included and give them tips to help support the nursing mother, as well as make appropriate referrals to pediatrician, lactation consultant and/or support groups. CPD (Certified Postpartum Doula)
My most recent certification demonstrates my desire to further nurture, educate and foster independence in families as they transition into their postpartum period. I like to say this certification is the cherry on top of my ever increasing postpartum knowledge base, which encompasses various aspects of my nursing training and other certifications. As a postpartum doula, I draw more from my emotional mom side and less of my medical side to be able to provide the reassurance, a listening ear, give an encouraging word, lend a helping hand and help the mother and family tap into their abilities and instincts. I also pay close attention to the development of postpartum mood disorders and will help clients screen themselves and make referrals to clinicians or support groups as needed. I respect the partner’s role and input and provide parents the tools they need to go forward with confidence. This is accomplished through personalized, non-judgmental support, that allows you to focus on what you really want – meeting your baby’s needs! My ALL inclusive, comprehensive, postpartum support is based on your individual needs. I bring the peace of mind and training of an experienced professional into the comfort of your home.

25 years ago today, standing at my friend's wedding, I felt a tiny flutter in my stomach for the very first time. It was immediate love and connection. I have forgotten many things in my life, but this moment is etched in my memory forever.

Do you remember where you were or what you were doing when you felt the first kick or flutter??

I realize I might ruffle some feathers with these posts BUT I really want family and friends to understand that it is OK if this year isn't like every other year. Bringing a baby into a family brings shifts, pivoting, and flexibility. Focus on supporting the family, creating new memories, maybe making new traditions, taking goofy photos, baking and being present with each other.

🍂 November Gratitude Post- Grateful for the Messy Moments, there are many!🍂

As we step into November, a month centered around gratitude, I am reflecting on the beauty found in real-life moments… not the perfect ones, but the honest ones. Gratitude in the postpartum and parenting seasons isn’t always about big milestones, it’s about noticing the small wins, the soft moments, and the people who remind you that you’re not doing this alone.

Tummy Time is important for muscle and motor development. Don't take this opportunity away from your newborn. Tummy time can start as soon as you get home from the hospital. YES, all the time they spend on parents' chest is important, but don't forget to put them on the floor to start working on their development. Start early and do it often. Start for 5 minutes a couple of times a day and work up to longer periods of 15-20 min. TIP: get down on their level and look and talk to them, put up black and white photos. You got this!!
