Bringing a baby into your family is often a joyful occasion! Whether you’re a first-time parent or already experienced, it can also be a time of intense – and often unanticipated – emotions and events as life with a new little person shifts routines, relationships, and expectations. Even if you felt prepared before baby’s arrival, you may still feel unsure, stressed, isolated, and/or anxious – this is common.
Navigating these complex new experiences can feel difficult, and surrounding yourself with support is essential. As International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), TummyTime!™ Method Professional, Holistic Sleep Coach, and Trained Babywearing Consultant with more than a decade of experience helping families, it’s my mission to provide you with the most up-to-date clinical care, equip you with information and strategies for this transition, establish a deep connection with your baby, and reveal your innate skills.

I'm planning ahead.
There's a class for that!
I need help now!
Deep breaths...
I'm looking for connection!

I highly recommend Marissa to all first time moms who want to breastfeed— even if you don’t *think* you have a problem, I guarantee you she has dozens of “life hacks” make your breastfeeding journey easier.

My partner completely dreaded the idea of going to this visit because of a previous experience, but left feeling so involved and connected. We are so grateful for your support of our whole family, Marissa!

Fast forward 6 months.....he used to be in the 11% and now he's in the 52%. BF is going well. I just wanted to say thank you for being so kind, patient, gentle, and understanding.
