About Me

I have spent my entire career so far working with moms, babies and families. It is truly a passion of mine and I have worked really hard to ensure I have a variety of education and experience under my belt to give families the best care I can. I became a mama coach after experiencing the joys and challenges of motherhood myself. It gave me the drive to be my own boss, bringing holistic personalized care to families.

Frequently Asked Questions

Good question!  I have always had a call to work with expecting and new families but becoming a mother myself gave me a perspective I never knew I was missing. 

I fully understand the struggles of new families and wish to be an essential part of the village they are missing! 

 

I get asked this one all the time.  As a Registered Nurses, having merely one method does not align with how we were trained in University to utilize the nursing process.

The Nursing Process is defined as, a “systematic approach to care using the fundamental principles of critical thinking, client-centered approaches to treatment, goal-oriented tasks, evidence-based practice (EDP) recommendations, and nursing intuition.  Holistic and scientific postulates are integrated to provide the basis for compassionate, quality-based care” (*1).  

Simply put, I will assess your child  to determine the best way to help your family reach their goals in the way you want, walking beside you all the way.  You can choose us with confidence, knowing you have picked the most qualified resource to support your family’s journey.

Yes.  As Registered Nurses, we have years of training on where to access credible guidelines and information. All of our programming is based on extensive research from credible sources.

As Registered Nurses, it is our professional obligation to manage client records and confidential information properly.  We use an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) that is compliant throughout North America.  Even though we share the same brand, we are all independent Registered Nurses with our own private practices. As such, we each have our own EMR that is private and secure. We do not share EMR or client information between one another without consent.

Most insurance providers will cover me as a naturopath, Registered Nurse or Lactation Consultant. 

I always recommend checking your specific insurance provider.
