Meet Lynn

Lynn is a North Carolina native from a large family of seven siblings. Having three adult children and a granddaughter of her own she recognizes the importance of having the support of a ‘village’ when your family is transitioning with the addition of a new baby; regardless if the child is received by birth, adoption or placement. However, in todays world family isn’t always close by or available to offer the level of care or length of time needed for the new family to settle in.

Lynn has decades of experience working with infants and children. During her extensive career she has instructed parent and child movement/tumbling/music classes for children 6 months-2 years, elementary age in gymnastics and cheer, working with students in classroom settings from Kindergarten to High School with Wake County Schools a wide variety of settings (including work with special education which includes assisting with medical needs) Her vast experience working with parents and children of all ages, settings and lifestyles makes her a valuable asset to families needing partner to walk beside and guide them through this most personal time.

Lynn received her Postpartum Doula and Lactation training through Dona International. She is CPR and First Aide certified.

“As a Postpartum doula I offer many services to my clients, but my main goals are to help “mother the mother” and nurture the entire family as they transition into life with a newborn. This would include doing things to help mom and dad feel more confident in their roles, sharing education on family adjustment, and tending to the unique needs of a new mother.”
