About Tess

Hi, I'm Tess-
I specialize in helping your family thrive in the fourth trimester. Hiring me feels like taking a deep breath followed by a calming exhale.

 
I have helped over 150 families feel confident, prepared, and grounded during one of life’s biggest transitions. 

I'm the person you hire to help with all the hard parts of bringing your new baby (and yourself) home. 

 

Postpartum Doula Care

Are you worried about managing “it all” ? Yes, you know your recovery is important but all you can think about right now is your baby. Let me help with the rest (and your rest). 

There are a lot of unknowns headed your way. Let’s map what your ideal fourth trimester looks like by building a postpartum plan, together. Then we'll make your dream postpartum a reality with in-home doula support.

Think more rest, supported recovery and dependable hours of calm.  Personalized support that starts in pregnancy and continues into the first months of your baby’s life.

If you are having a baby this year, we should connect. 

Lactation Support

If your baby is already here and feeding is trickier than expected; I provide personalized, in-home lactation support tailored to you and your baby. Get hands-on guidance with your latch and talk through your worries and questions. 

Maybe you're waiting to meet your baby and are really hoping to breastfeed. But there is a 'but'. You have heard from so many friends and family how hard it was for them and now there is a whisper of doubt in your mind, "what if it doesn't work for us".   

Breastfeeding success begins in pregnancy. That's why I built a course to teach you everything  you need to know to  feed your baby with confidence. No more late night Googling, "how to make breastfeeding work?", no more asking in Facebook mommy groups what you need to put on your registry to breastfeed... I am your go-to-girl for all of that. 

"I had such a wonderful experience with Tess as our postpartum doula, I could go on and on about how helpful she was. She brought so much calm, knowledge, and kindness into our home during a time of big transition. She supported me with breastfeeding questions, she gave me advice for my toddler becoming a sibling, and she checked in on my own post partum recovery. Tess helped me with so many little tasks that made those early weeks feel lighter and much more manageable. I’m incredibly grateful for her and would highly recommend her to any new parent!"
