Jocelyn has always been passionate about working with babies and supporting new families. She focused her Graduate work & career on infants & prematurity and worked in the NICU, Early Intervention and ChildFind for over a decade. Her experience as a mom of two children and their personal journey together (emergency C-section, birth trauma, a short NICU stay, health & feeding challenges) only added to her skill set & she experienced firsthand the difficulty of finding the right support after having a new baby. Being a Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Perinatal Mental Health provider & Doula trained all inform her knowledgable and compassionate approach to working with families. She recognizes each family’s needs are unique and personalizes the support she provides leaning into intuition & lessons from her own personal holistic wellness practices. She centers the importance of culture & family & culturally humble care in her work. Her new parent support is evidence based & judgement free so you can feel at ease in making choices that work for your family. Parent/baby Wellness, Connection & Co-regulation are at the root of her practice.
In her free time, spending time with her wild family, cuddling with their puppy and doing anything creative all bring her joy.
