About Denise

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a seasoned mom with 3 grown children. I have spent most of my years using my Early Childhood Degree providing early childhood care for families in large daycare centers, as well as my own home daycare. For the past 10 years I have taken on a new role as a Postpartum Doula. I am available to offer assistance to new moms and dads through this very trying time when coming home from the hospital with your newborn. With years of experience, and a multitude of resources, I can help gently guide you into parenthood. With an extra set of hands, I can take some of the worry out of how to comfortably take care of yourself and your baby... before and after you give birth. I can provide you with resources and support in all areas of Postpartum and Newborn Care. There is so much to think about when becoming new parents! With a free consultation, I can give you and idea of how my temporary support can help you recover quicker and easier. I look forward to hearing from you.

Denise was incredible in providing care for my infant and for myself postpartum. She was knowledgeable, resourceful and always warm and kind. We hadn’t gotten a doula with our first child because we had family coming to help but with our second child we thought the extra hands would be helpful. Even with our family staying the difference in having Denise was immeasurable. Her help made the really difficult first few months so much easier and brighter. She was amazing with my baby and my toddler loved her. She was a daycare provider for many years so her knowledge of developmental milestones and infant and toddler behavior was so helpful. I really enjoyed her company and felt safe and supported through my postpartum journey. I hope to keep her in our lives as much as possible.
