MEET NATALIE.

A WOMAN ON A MISSION TO CHANGE THE WAY WE PROVIDE BIRTH & POSTPARTUM SUPPORT.

We prepare cribs and fold tiny clothes, but how often do we pause to prepare for the vast journey of birth—the moment when everything changes—and the unfolding transformation into parenthood? Birth is more than a single day; it’s an experience that reshapes body, heart and identity. And yet, most families are offered only a single six-week check, when what they truly need is care that honors the magnitude of this transition.

That’s where I come in. As a Full-Spectrum Doula, Body Ready Method® Certified Pro, Childbirth Educator and Lactation Care Provider, I walk alongside you through the intensity of birth and the ongoing shift into parenthood—helping you feel prepared, supported, and empowered.

I’m honored to offer a fully customizable range of perinatal services—birth and postpartum care, prep classes, lactation support, Body Ready Method® coaching, and more—so that together we can nurture not just survival, but strength, connection, and confidence for the evolving journey ahead.
