Your lactation consultant and doula play an important role in your postpartum experience. They serve as professional guides and mentors in ensuring that the breastfeeding and other postpartum needs of parents, newborns and families are met. They should work with you to address your unique challenges and goals to ensure the health, safety and well-being of your family.
Board Certified Lactation Consultant Near YouAt Simply Nourish, our main mission is to help families overcome feeding challenges and postpartum struggles.
I understand the unique challenges that parenthood can bring – especially in the beginning stages. Feeding can often be a difficult thing to navigate through. Families I work with often feel exhausted and frustrated that breastfeeding isn’t coming naturally to them, which can create tension and worry.
If you are searching for a qualified doula near you, Simply Nourish provides experienced and qualified breastfeeding home visit services, prenatal prep classes and doula support in the Greater British Columbia Area. I provide at-home doula services and visits to ensure that your postpartum needs are met through professional and trained assistance. |

Services:
Postpartum Doula ServicesParenthood is a personal and unique journey, with challenges that require facilitated support and understanding.
A postpartum doula is a trained professional that assists parents and newborns in their first days together. To help support your journey, I provide support and advice during the first year after birth. As a support, guide and aid, a doula can be an invaluable source of support physically, emotionally and mentally. A doula can offer a broad range of services to help you get organized, comfortable and assured in the days right after bringing an infant home. A doula can also provide advice and assistance in both the care of your baby and yourself. Doulas can assist in breastfeeding, diaper changes, managing your daily activities and perhaps most importantly, giving you the encouragement and support you need for your emotional and mental health. |

Lactation ConsultantAs a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I am a highly-trained professional that can provide a wide range of services including lactation assessments, infant feeding techniques, weight checks, assistance with mastitis and guidance for special needs for both newborns and parents among other things.
Professional lactation consultants offer specialized services that can include teaching a new parent how to position their baby on the breast and giving tips on how to increase milk supply. Did you know that physicians, nurses and pediatricians often are not taught very much in regards to troubleshooting breastfeeding concerns? This is where a lactation consultant can deem very helpful! In addition to addressing newborn feeding challenges, lactation consultants can also help with toddler nursing, frequent feedings and how to introduce solid foods. |
Our skills and services encompass a wide range of infant-rearing aspects!
Are you an adoptive or non-birthing parent who wishes to chest feed/ breastfeed? I have a lot of experience in inducing lactation and helping families produce milk for their children.
Do you have signs of mastitis? I can help manage that as well, in addition to collaborating with your midwife/family physician to ensure you are getting the treatment you require.
I can devise special feeding plans for premature infants, multiples or infants with serious medical conditions such as cleft palate or cardiac issues.
Even months into breast-feeding, parents often find it helpful to talk to me about finding a good breast pump or ensuring that the baby is feeding well once parents have returned to work.
Infant feeding can go more smoothly with adequate support. This is why the most helpful commodity a lactation consultant offers is the simple reassurance and encouragement that you are enough for your family.
I continue to be inspired by meeting clients and listening to their stories. I listen to what they want out of their early child-rearing days, how they want to raise their infant, what background and experience they have or do not have and importantly, what kinds of questions and concerns they have. All of this information is critical in helping me design a program that suits the unique needs and wants of my clients. In this way, I am committed to personalizing my programs to support YOUR feeding goals.
With high level professional training, scientific-based knowledge and a great amount of experience in the area of lactation, I am well-equipped as a lactation consultant to give you the proper tools and guidance before, during and after the breastfeeding and postpartum period.
