Hi, I'm Valerie


I'm a Certified Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, and mom of 3 (including identical twins)...

I’ve spent 8 years showing hundreds of parents what the heck to do with their squirmy little newborns.

Whether you have a partner or you’re a single parent, raising a baby takes a village (even if it’s a socially distant village) and there are many ways to get the support you need.

Traditionally, there is not a lot of postpartum care for adoptive parents even though your need to care for your newborn is the exact same.

And that’s why I took all of my experience serving families in the first few months of their child’s life and I created an adoption-specific newborn care class just for you whether you have a partner or are adopting as a single parent!

What Adoption Professionals are saying

"The ongoing support piece after completing the course is what I like for the families we serve!"


- Amy Imber, Connecting Hearts Adoption Services

"She thought of everything new adoptive parents need to know about newborn care, bonding with baby, moving through life after bringing baby home, and more."

- Libby Denniston, Lifetime Adoptions

"Valerie's program is not like anything I've seen offered in the adoption world!"


- Nicole Witt, The Adoption Consultancy
