Suzanne - Lactation Consultant, Doula, Aromatherapist and Yoga Teacher

---

My true joy in life is my family! Having my own children and watching them grow created a passion in me to help new families navigate pregnancy and beyond.  As a Doula and Lactation Consultant, I bring a holistic approach to those I work with, offering families physical, emotional and educational support at this very beautiful and transformational time. Regardless of your choice to home birth/hospital birth, bottle feed/breastfeed or both, opt for a medicated or non medicated birth or the slew of other choices, I will be there to support you along the way.  My philosophy of care is to meet each family exactly where they are and to support your vision of pregnancy and parenthood.   I specialize in working with those experiencing anxiety and depression.

As an aromatherapist, my passion is in education around the safety and use of these beautiful therapeutic gifts from nature. My love of movement and dance brought me to Yoga Teacher Training and I offer in person and virtual classes, with a focus on mental health and stress reduction through movement and meditation practices.  

You can always find me tending to my herb garden, listening to podcasts, reading or spending time with my family.
