My kids. Each one a teacher for me and each birth brought me so many lessons. This photo was taken just hours after my youngest was born. My oldest was born after days of hard hard back labor with a birth that was not at all how I had planned it to b

I started this practice because when I had my own babies this is the care that I feel we deserved as human beings. It does not take a medical degree to feel uneasy about bringing a newborn baby into a noisy doctor’s office surrounded by infecti

“I started this practice because I saw a major design flaw in the newborn and postpartum model of care in our country. On the one hand, particularly with families that are having issues with their newborn, we were bringing them back-and-forth into a doctors office to address only the needs of the newborn. On the other hand, we were leaving the brand new mother to sort out many challenging physical symptoms on her own in her home. No malice intended. I believe that the medical field wants the best for new families, but just like hospice care at the end of life, there are certain moments during a life that don’t always fit nicely into a doctor’s office. This is how this practice came about.”
