HONEYLEAF BIRTH & BABY

Empowered birth. Nurtured postpartum. Happy baby.

Licensed Midwife, Educator, Quinn’s Mama

I have been caring for families and their children as far back as I can remember. First just as a babysitter, then nanny, daycare worker, preschool teacher, doula, then finally as a Midwife. It’s been nearly a decade since I attended my first birth, with 6 of those years spent delivering babies here in the Wenatchee Valley at our local birth center. My passion and expertise is in out-of-hospital birth, breastfeeding, newborn care, and infant feeding.

Since the birth of my daughter, Quinn, I felt called to stay home with her as long as possible. I have stopped attending births for now and have instead put my energy into Honeyleaf Birth & Baby. Named for the Ancient Greek word for Lemon Balm, a calming herbal medicine that works to soothe the nervous system, Honeyleaf classes will help families feel prepared and confident to start their parenting journey.

Childbirth Classes

How you birth matters. Start your parenting journey feeling safe, confident, and prepared for the wild ecstasy of birth. This class is designed for those seeking an unmedicated, undisturbed birth and focuses on preserving the natural hormones of labor.

Newborn Care & Postpartum Healing Class

Giving birth isn’t just an arrival of a new baby. It’s also a time for you to be reborn as an entirely new person. A changed body, mind, and heart. This class is designed to teach new parents how to heal and thrive after birth and the basics of newborn care and breastfeeding.

Babyled Feeding Series

Many people believe that the only way to feed babies is spoon-feeding with purees. For those interested in learning how to instead include baby in the family meal and teach your little one the skills of self-feeding with whole foods, this class series is a hands-on eating experience.

Private Classes

Although I keep my group classes small, some people prefer to commune in a private setting. If you would like to take any of classes privately, please e-mail me directly.

Private classes offered at the same price as a group class.

I also would be happy to consult on other parenting tools including short classes on:

- babywearing.

- cloth diapering and/or elimination communication.

- sign language for babies.
