"I would absolutely recommend your class to anyone!"
Being a new mommy is an absolute dream. I want to thank you so much for your class. It has helped me tremendously especially with breastfeeding, an area that I was totally unfamiliar with. I am excited for our next monthly chat. I cannot thank you enough for how amazing you are and how much my husband and I learned from you. I would absolutely recommend your class to anyone.

Hi, I’m Valerie!
I'm a Certified Postpartum Doula (PCD), Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and mom of 3 (including identical twins). . .
Over the past 8 years I’ve had the amazing privilege of helping hundreds of parents prepare so that they know what the heck to do with their squirmy little newborns!
I understand the road to becoming a parent, and those first few months, are the craziest mix of excitement and overwhelm and that having support during that time makes all the difference!
My years of experience means that you can stop googling (please, please stop googling) because you now have a trusted source to answer all your questions!

Valerie is completely non-judgmental and a safe zone. You can ask her anything.
Valerie is a quintessential doula. You can ask her anything, at any time, and she is quick to get back to you with an answer or practical suggestion, and resources to support it. She is completely non-judgmental and a safe zone. Valerie has also been there for me when I needed to vent about a rough night. She has helped me be the best mom I can be for my two boys!

"There's no where else you can find all this information in one place!"
Every Sunday we would cast our computer to the TV and view at least one section. It was nice to look forward to this bonding time while soaking up all the new info for our first little one on the way. There’s no where else you can find all this information in one place. Plus, Valerie is right there with you along the way.
"The soothing techniques were so important and we used them a lot!"
As first time parents we had so many questions about how to care for our baby in those first weeks home. At the hospital we had nurses to help and ask questions and at home it was all on us. This course gave us the confidence we needed to be the best parents we could even with sleep deprivation and a lot of dirty diapers!
"Sifting through Pinterest boards was time consuming and I found it difficult to find trustworthy resources!"
Although my husband and I were ecstatic to become first-time parents, we also felt clueless and nervous about caring for a newborn. Being the youngest of each of our families meant that neither of us had experience with infants, especially those who we were responsible for. New Parents Academy helped us to feel prepared to navigate this new adventure together! We were both so relieved to find a relevant expert resource that we could learn from and refer back to when our baby girl arrived. Although we appreciated advice from family and friends, some of this advice was outdated. We felt lost until we found Expecting 101!
