Hello, I’m Chelsea!

I’m a certified doula and parent educator! Over the past decade, I have had the distinct pleasure of working with a variety of families during pregnancy, birth and early postpartum. I have supported over 60 families and provided thousands of hours of hands on care.

As a postpartum doula, I naturally attune to the unique needs of each parent I work with; seamlessly blending in with the family. I am an expert in newborn education, am knowledgeable about postpartum recovery and a constant encourager. I have supported a variety of families and situations, including twins, premies, c-section recovery, adoption, surrogacy, attachment parenting, co-sleeping, sleep scheduling and everything in between. I am well versed in overnight care and will make sure your baby’s needs are lovingly met while you sleep soundly. Walking alongside parents as they find their strength, confidence and unique style of parenting brings me so such joy. Through my own pregnancy and journey to motherhood, I experienced first hand the importance of community and support every step of the way.

I live with my husband, daughter, Juniper and our golden retriever, Fern. I enjoy hiking, camping, writing, art, a good cider, the ocean, photography, bonfires with friends, animals and spending time with my family.
