RN
BScN, RN | Postpartum Community Health Nurse
I am a registered nurse who specializes in infant sleep & development, parental brain education and lactation. I provide clients with a holistic, family-centered approach informed by neuroscience. I am passionate about postpartum care, supporting the mother-baby dyad and empowering mothers trust their intuition and parent in a way that aligns with their values.
How it all began ...
Raising Nurtured Minds began from a personal experience with postpartum anxiety after my first daughter was born. I struggled with the transition to motherhood, understanding the massive brain changes that happened starting in my pregnancy and had no knowledge of biologically normal infant sleep. I felt like something was wrong with my baby because she wasn't sleeping like the western culture expects; without her needing support, waking frequently throughout the night or following a schedule. This sparked a passion for learning about and training in an integrative, neuroscience informed approach to infant sleep and development, becoming a certified Parental Brain Educator and pursuing my lactation certification. At Raising Nurtured Minds, I offer holistic postpartum care; together we will optimize your baby’s sleep and development, nurture your transition into motherhood, and support your feeding goals.
Why a personalized approach matters
At Raising Nurtured Minds, I believe in creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and cared for. Each mother-baby dyad and family have their own unique needs; understanding you and your infants' specific needs and goals is of utmost importance to me.
