You know you want support after baby arrives, but you've had a hard time finding the right person to fill the need. Someone that has had their own babies so they understand personally how impactful this experience is.
I am passionate about finding your best path through the forest of post-birth parenthood. We'll navigate what life may look like, day-to-day tasks, talk about the technical stuff...and most importantly, we'll talk about what you really need emotionally, mentally, and physically to be seen and heard as the whole-human mama you are.
This time of your life is meant for you to be cared for just as much as your newborn. It's meant to build your bond with your baby while being nourished into your new self. Postpartum doesn't have to be scary. It can be supported.
Look, you either will or already have your hands full just healing from childbirth, let alone the all-consuming effort of keeping your baby fed, changed, and attending all the checkups.
Then add mystery cries, painful feeds, unexpected visitors, and laundry piling up...it can be a lot. Too much, even. This is where I come in. If you want help navigating nap times, identifying ways to make feeding more comfortable, or you simply need another adult to sit and listen, I'm your gal.
You're the one on a journey, this is your story. I'm just here to hold your hand and guide you to the next stepping stone.
You don't have to do this alone.
You're ready to start looking outside the box. Your postpartum support team should align with your style, your energy, and offer the type of experience you need.
Women feel social pressures the most. Add in kids, your own hopes and dreams, (maybe even a business), and that pressure to perform magnifies greatly. Postpartum isn't about performing, it's about evolving and discovering you're new self, your new family, and your new life. It's a transformative process just as much as birth is and should have just as much effort into planning.
I find that giving women like us a little room to just be ourselves with grace, laying out tools for success and taking some things off your plate can go a long way towards making postpartum less daunting and actually enjoyable.

"Lana was super sweet...In fact, she taught us a lot of good things about a newborn. We loved meeting Lana!"
"She is amazingly talented!
We are in love with our pictures, but most of all we got a friend for life."
"She is so good with the kids! It was good to see them being themselves. The photos made me cryyy!"
