Hi, I’m Sally!

I’m a wife, mom, certified postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor. I LOVE being a mom - and I am open and honest about how hard it can be, particularly during those first few months. I aim to share my knowledge and joy of parenting to help new parents find joy amidst the inevitable chaos that parenthood can bring. I believe there is no one right path to or through parenthood. I offer evidence-based, zero-judgement guidance, supporting YOU, however that looks for your unique family.
