About Kimberly

Kimberly Gazard, MPH, CLE, CLSP, PCD, CAIMT

After becoming a mother to two wonderful children, I developed a deep passion for postpartum care. My own experience showed me how important support during the fourth trimester truly is, and it inspired me to help other families feel informed, cared for, and confident as they navigate this special season. My goal is to empower you with knowledge, hold space for your questions, and support the choices that feel best for your family.

As a Certified Postpartum Doula (PCD DONA) and Certified Lactation Educator (CLE) with a master's degree in public health and over 15 years in healthcare, I offer comprehensive knowledge across multiple areas. Credentials are just the foundation, and compassionate support is what brings it all together.
