Personal Postpartum Partner, L.L.C., Owner
As a registered nurse, childbirth advocate, and now your postpartum partner (PP), I walk with you in those first weeks after delivery and through the first 12 months. It began in the heart of labor and delivery units, I saw a gap after birth where mothers and babies are missed, navigating uncharted waters until that six-week checkup. This “4th trimester” is a whirlwind of emotions and physical changes. It is a time when you might feel overwhelmed by breastfeeding, struggling with recovery, and isolation. Your PP was born out of a deep desire to bridge that gap; to educate and encourage. From helping to navigate breastfeeding, managing postpartum recovery, I’m here to guide this adventure. I graduated from College in Compton and then to UC Irvine, with a BFA and MFA. Then, 2009 received BSN degree, on labor and delivery units, giving me a well-rounded perspective on healthcare. We build confidence.
