Client Testimonials

“Carrie was so incredibly helpful with our transition home after the birth of our son! They were always willing to assist however was most helpful, whether that was helping with our son's first bath, giving us support and tips as we began nursing, or just babysitting our little one so we could get some rest. Carrie is knowledgeable, reliable, communicative, thoughtful, warm, caring and patient. Those first few weeks home were intimidating but it was really reassuring to have Carrie's help for both the physical and emotional transition of entering parenthood. We 100% recommend their services to anyone looking for some extra assistance as they're entering this new chapter!”

“Carrie provided a huge emotional lift for me navigating postpartum recovery and exclusive pumping, and talking out decisions along a great deal of my peripartum journey. I have a real independent streak and in my particular case a lot of the worst stressors weren't present, but sometimes just knowing there's someone there is most of it, and Carrie was the best possible person for it.”

— JB

“Carrie taught me that it was completely normal and expected for my body and my psyche to change after infertility, pregnancy, and birth. Of course I felt different, because I am different than before, which is something I can mourn and celebrate at the same time. Carrie also taught me about different phases of early parenthood and helped me prepare for them. If you have the chance for Carrie to be on your postpartum team, you will feel grounded and supported just like I have.”

The fourth trimester is a season of contradictions.

You are expanding your family and your sense of self. You are also cocooning, nesting, and turning inward in order to heal, nurture, and process the magnitude of how your life is transforming.

Great change is underway, and you might not recognize this new you. This can lead to isolation at a moment when connection matters deeply. Maybe you are feeling selective about allowing others into your home as you adjust to your new normal, but you might also crave an ear for processing your child’s birth story or an extra pair of hands to help with diaper changes, feeding, and laundry.

Postpartum requires balance.

It doesn’t matter if you are a first time parent or if you have been through a version of this season before. Every time you become a parent, you are invited to integrate the old with the new. It can be a lot to hold.

But you don’t have to do it alone.

I am walking beside you as you navigate this sacred transitional moment in your family’s life. Read about my background and the services I offer, and reach out for a free consultation if you’d like to chat about how I can be of help to you and your family. I can’t wait to hear from you!
