Hands on Support & Education
Private Consultation Packages
If you're feeling nervous about caring for your newborn after delivery and want to maximize your confidence and independence, I am here for you!
I have assisted hundreds of parents over the last 10 years while working as a Registered Nurse in the Maternity Unit. I can understand and anticipate exactly what you and your baby will need and the common fears and questions most parents have. Education and time with your nurse can be limited at the hospital which is why I've made myself available for you to hire privately for consulting and education in the comfort of your hospital room or home.
I will tailor my education to meet your specific family needs and goals, compassionately walking you through basic to complex care topics. You can choose a service below that best meets your needs.

Bundle Details
Online Assessment and Phone Consultation
You will fill out an online assessment form prior to us meeting. This will help us to understand where your educational needs and gaps are, so I can do my best to fulfill them. During our phone or video call we will get to know one another and develop a safe and comfortable relationship to thrive from. I will review your assessment sheet and ask you some important questions to ensure I understand your individual and family goals, while taking your unique birth experience and health status into consideration to adapt according. Together we will come up with a plan that best meets your personal and financial needs and set up a time to get started together!
Valuable Educational Resources
Based on your unique, individual birth plan, medical needs, goals, interests and concerns I will send you additional up-to-date best practice documents to continue to support your learning even when I’m not physically around. This way you won’t be bombarded with tons of overwhelming, conflicting, and unnecessary information and can use it to refresh your memory when need be.
Private Support Sessions
Involve me driving to you in the comfort of your hospital or home to support you through bedside and hands on education for 2 hours per session with each weekly bundle purchased. The sooner you contact me to come in the better for you and your little one. Early education and support has been shown to help parents and babies achieve their goals faster. By intervening early on, we can avoid developing bad habits or issues that need reversing, which could have been prevented with health promotion and education early on. With the weekly bundles parents can choose if they want 1, 2, or 3 weeks of support and guidance from me. Having consistency and getting in early on is key to success in your parenting endeavors.
Continuous Communication and Support
I will be available to you during the designated time frame your package provides (1 to 3 weeks) via text or phone, following our in person sessions. Here I will follow up with the previous plans we initiated to ensure things are going smoothly and adjust my consulting accordingly moving forward. It is during this time that I may suggest the involvement of your family physician or other medical professionals if concerns of your newborn or self arise. I am available 7 days a week at flexible hours throughout the day (9am - 9pm) following our sessions. The goal here is to provide you with continuous advice and support with a reliable resource to help you transition into parenting smoothly. I guarantee a prompt response and clear communication with all my clients.
Referral Guidance
I also use my judgment as a Newborn Care Consultant to make suggested referrals to other reliable health care professionals and services as needed or requested i.e. Lactation Consultant, Social Worker, Etc.
