Additional Postpartum Support Services
Breastfeeding Help - One of the biggest factors in breastfeeding success is having good support. Another is having the right information. With training in early lactation care, I offer support and education to help women achieve their individual breastfeeding goals. I help with understanding basic feeding habits, hunger cues, problem solving, latch, position, and technique assistance.

The wrap provides support to your hips, abdominal muscles, and rib cage to promote recovery and reduce back pain following pregnancy and birth. I offer single or multiple visit wrapping sessions.

"As Americans, we are under the impression that new moms are 'Superwomen' & can return to life as it was before baby. We must remember to celebrate this new mother and emulate the other cultures that honor new mothers by caring for them, supporting them, & placing value on the magnificent transformation she is going through. This is the greatest gift we can give to new mothers & newborns." ~Darla Burns |
