Q: Can a doula help with breastfeeding?
A: Yes! I provide guidance, encouragement, and practical tips to support feeding, whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or using a combination approach.
Q: Is postpartum doula support only for first-time parents?
A: Not at all! Any parent can benefit from support, whether it’s your first baby or your third.
Infant Craniosacral Therapy

Q: What is Infant Craniosacral Therapy?
A: It’s a gentle, hands-on therapy that works with your baby’s craniosacral system to release tension, support nervous system balance, and promote comfort, ease, and healthy development.

Q: How old can my baby be for therapy?
A: Craniosacral therapy is safe for newborns, infants, and older babies. I tailor each session to your child’s age and needs.
Q: How long is a session?
A: Infant sessions typically last 30–45 minutes. The pace is entirely baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddling, or breaks as needed.

Q: How long is a session?
A: Adult sessions are usually 60 minutes, allowing time for a thorough assessment and gentle, restorative work.
