About Kimberly
With over 15 years of healthcare experience, my approach to postpartum doula support is grounded in evidence-based practice, and dedication to empowering families through knowledge and compassionate support. My healthcare experience includes working in family medicine, gynecology, and hospital settings, where I provided education and support to families. I have completed extensive education in health and lactation, including 36 college-level health science courses, over 145 hours of lactation education, and 500+ clinical hours in lactation support. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, including Chinese, Indian, Russian, Spanish, and many others. I strive to create a welcoming environment where every parent feels respected and supported in their own goals for postpartum recovery, infant feeding, and more.
Let’s set your postpartum journey up for success!
