Hi! Im Vanessa, and it is an honor to help you figure out how you want to parent. In whatever way parenthood may look for you- I got you! With 10 years experience as a postpartum doula helping families one thing I've learned is the amount of pressure you feel. Between family, friends, the internet much less the entire world telling you how things will go and what to do or how to do it. My approach is to walk along side you giving you facts and evidence based information so you and things can feel a little more at ease.
