About me
My Philosophy
Adding a newborn to your family is a joyous time, and I will make sure that you are not feeling overwhelmed or unsure.
Coming into your home at night I will create a calm atmosphere for you, your baby and your family.
In my care for the baby I will educate you on how to create a calm surrounding so that your baby feels safe and secure. I will ensure that you are able to rest and trust that your baby is well cared for.
"Anita is an excellent postpartum doula and newborn care specialist – quite possibly the best in the country – and she has my highest recommendation. Anita was the gentle, knowledgeable guide our family needed through the (often) overwhelming newborn weeks." - Blair H
