How it all started

I’ve always been passionate about supporting postpartum families—whether that meant preparing nourishing meals, helping new siblings adjust, or simply offering an extra set of hands so a mom can shower, eat, or rest.

I earned my B.S. in Nursing while working night shifts as a doula, stepping in to support families as they navigated the adventure of bringing home a new baby (or two!). During that time, I built meaningful connections with the families I served and saw firsthand how impactful this support can be. Along with providing much-needed rest, I helped establish healthy sleep foundations for their little ones—setting the stage for more peaceful nights ahead.

What I didn’t realize at the time was that my work as a postpartum doula was shaping the path to where I am today.

My Specialties

I’m a certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant through the Family Sleep Institute, with over a decade of hands-on experience supporting families. I’ve worked with countless families in Chicago, across the U.S., and internationally, guiding them through the postpartum period and helping their babies establish healthy, age-appropriate sleep routines before I step away.

My approach is all about removing the stress and confusion around sleep. I partner closely with families to create realistic, sustainable solutions—so everyone can get the rest they deserve in a way that truly works for them.

As a mom myself, I bring an added layer of empathy and real-life understanding to every family I support.

There’s no “one right way” to approach sleep. I’m here to partner with you, support you, and help you find what works best for your family.
