Newborn Care Classes

Prior to the birth of my first child, my husband and I I took a one on one lactation class with Janelle. She came prepared with an array of props to help illustrate the process and gave both mummy and daddy to be a little breastfeeding practise. Janelle's personality, and practical teaching skills left me feeling informed and empowered that ‘I can do this.’ The best part of all of this was when my baby girl was born I felt confident in how to breastfeed and in the moments I couldn't remember how to do something my husband was able to help me with my hold or remind me of what we learned. My daughter is almost 3 weeks old now and both my daughter and I have had a great experience since day one. I highly recommend Janelle as a doula, consultant, and partner on your pregnancy and birthing journey.

The first time I meet Janelle was approximately 6years ago. I hired her to become my doula. Previous to becoming pregnant I had no idea what a doula was but when doing my research I decided 100% I needed one. I came across Janelle’s info in a google search. Little did I know we would hit it off and she would become an important person in my life for many reasons. At the time she taught me SO MUCH about myself and educated me on so much more than just child birth. She helped me advocate for myself during pregnancy and at the pediatricians office and with my own dr’s. She is beyond knowledgeable with pregnancy, child birth, breastfeeding, holistic options etc and she is so caring and I am so happy that we crossed paths.

I wasn’t sure about how encapsulating my placenta would help me postpartum, but I figured instead of wasting such a precious gift as the organ that kept my baby thriving for 10 months I would give it a try! Janelle carefully secured my placenta after I gave birth and quickly processed it into easy to swallow capsules! The pills were thoughtfully packaged and sweetly presented. I was so surprised that I felt a noticeable difference in my mood on the days I forgot to take them! When taking them I felt more balanced and happy, I didn’t have any postpartum blues and was able to enjoy my baby bliss feeling hormonally stable!

Janelle was the birth assistant for two of my births, and I couldn't have asked for a more calming, grounded presence during these sacred moments. Throughout labor, she offered reassurance and support—bringing water, applying counter-pressure, and offering gentle words of encouragement exactly when I needed them. I felt at ease with her in my birthing space, and deeply valued both her experience and intuitive care. After birth, Janelle continued to support us with thoughtful postpartum visits for our baby. She consistently affirmed our choice to birth at home and the way we choose to raise our children, which brought me comfort and confidence. Having her by our side was a true gift.”
