She’ll help with anything whether YOU need to be cared for or your kids need to be cared for or even if you just need some household things done.

3 Steps to Success as a New Parent
Background
I am lucky to have been born and raised in the beautiful state of Colorado. I have many fond memories of ice skating and snowboarding growing up. I have also lived in Long Beach, California, and Cape May, New Jersey. I graduated from South Dakota State University with a BS in Psychology and began my journey to become a postpartum doula in 2016. My husband is my best friend, and our home is full with 2 crazy dogs, a cat-like dog, a 3-legged bearded dragon, and a beta and 5 Zebra Danios fish. We live in a cute 100+-year-old home about 12 miles outside of Sioux Falls in Hartford, SD!
