The transition to parenthood doesn’t always come easily. Adjusting to life with a new baby can be challenging, especially if you already have children. The mental load can feel staggeringly heavy. Without enough support, postpartum depression and anxiety can easily take hold. I know, I’ve been there myself, and I’ve come out the other side.
With the right support, the early weeks feel lighter. I offer inclusive, evidence-based postpartum care across the Kootenays including daytime support, overnight care, and ongoing reassurance. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and confident as you adjust to life with a new baby. Click the links below to learn more about postpartum support.

Curious what postpartum support looks like? Each shift is tailored to your family’s needs, helping you feel supported, cared for, and confident every step of the way.
Support that helps your family get the rest you need so everyone can better cope with the changes a new baby brings. Each overnight shift is tailored to your family’s unique needs.
A typical night with me might look like this:
I check in with you about your day and answer any questions you may have.
I provide requested resources or guidance as needed.
I care for your baby while you spend quality time with older children, your partner, or yourself.
If nursing, I help with one more feed before you head to bed.
I burp, change, and soothe your baby until they fall asleep.
Until midnight, I do quiet household tasks (light cleaning, folding laundry, meal prep, or gathering resources), while attending to your baby as needed.
After midnight, I rest while staying ready for your baby, so I’m prepared whenever they wake.
When your baby wakes, I feed or bring them to nurse according to your preferences, repeating as needed.
Near the end of the shift, I may prepare a small breakfast or coffee for your family if desired.
Finally, I debrief the night with you, either in person or via text, leaving you to enjoy extra rest or a calm morning.
Support to lighten your mental load so you can be more present in your day. Each day shift is tailored to your family’s unique needs.
