    LGBTQ+

    I have spent decades working with LGBTQ+ families across the Bay Area, offering care that is not only inclusive but deeply attunes to the diverse ways families are formed. My approach is grounded in respect, affirmation, and an understanding that postpartum support must honor each family’s identity, structure and lived experience. I am experienced in supporting families navigating donor conceived newborns, surrogacy journeys, co-parenting, blended queer households.

    Postpartum Chef

    I love to prepare nutritious home cooked meals and snacks.

    Eating well is imperative during the postpartum period. I focus of the nutrition needed for the birthing person’s recovery. Easy to digest, warm, highly nutritious foods cooked in your home.
