  • LACTATION

    Empathetic, individualized, holistic infant feeding support from a veteran IBCLC and mom of four. I specialize in low milk supply, oral ties, tension release and proper oral development, as well as supporting optimal function of the shared nervous system. In many cases I may even be able to bill your insurance directly, or at least provide a superbill for you to submit to them for reimbursement. Let's get your lactation situation flowing smoothly!

  • DOULA

    Helping you experience a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. Preparing you physically, emotionally, and mentally for your baby's arrival. Supporting you through your birth to helping you heal and adjust to life as a new mom - I'm here for you! I offer both Birth and Postpartum Doula support, and bring a little bit of all of my specialties in to make sure you feel loved, empowered, and confident in knowing you are the best mom for your baby.

  • SLEEP

    With a decade of experience and focused training under my belt, I’ll help your family get better rest without old-school, separation based “training” techniques. We will seek out root cases for any true sleep problems, and provide you with tools to get good restorative sleep while still supporting your baby/toddler overnight as they are designed to be supported. Get more sleep and deepen your connection to your child(ren).

  • ENERGY HEALING

    We can all feel energy all around us, and I am honored to be able to support you in harnessing that which you wish to call in and releasing/clearing that which no longer serves you. Utilizing a number of healing modalities including Reiki, I clear energetic blocks to healing and support you in getting your energy flowing again; for babies, mamas, papas, and everyone in between.

meet Chelsea…

Hi there! I’m an IBCLC, Indie Birth trained Birth and Postpartum Doula, Body Ready Method Pro, Baby-Led Sleep & Well-Being Specialist, Energy Healing Practitioner, and mom of four. I’ve spent the last decade supporting thousands of families in the transition to parenthood by supporting the emotional, mental, energetic, and physical health of those I am honored to be asked to support.

You deserve holistic care that respects YOUR goals, and I am honored to be able to walk alongside you on your path to healing through parenthood.

THE JOYS OF EXPANSION! This year was such an unbelievably wonderful year, chock full of learning opportunities and chances to GROW! In that process, I had to step back and learn to think BIGGER... and one of the ways I'm expanding is with my work.
♡FAMILY♡ Shamelessly plugging my friend @itsbillmain - we could not love this MORE! Thank you! And don't forget to boob your baby. That's it for tonight... XOXO #artist #friends #talented #grateful #art #design #graficart
FAST-FOOD My big kiddos did their third @spartankidsrace today... always way too fun! And, lemme just tell you, being able to throw my toddler on my back or on a boob and run after them was TOO EASY. I don't formally run the race cause, well, my
HOW IT'S DONE. The second picture is the back of a can of goat's milk formula made by @littleoakcompany This is how you do it. You don't lie to mothers, you don't pretend that you can make anything close to mother's milk, you don't go after overw
INITIATION Breastfeeding my first child broke me down. I managed to labor untouched (mostly at home, upright in the shower) for 18 hours and get my posterior baby into a better position for birth. At the 18 hour mark, I consented to let the morning
OVERSUPPLY: I'm sure you all remember earlier this week when someone asserted that because their child "slept through the night from day 1" and she "had enough milk to feed the neighborhood" and therefore it was "clearly unt
MOMS NEED IT TOO! I rant a lot about the importance of feeding babies overnight for as long as they need... it's basic human decency (among other things), after all. But what seems to be consistently missing in this conversation is the maternal side
♡ CELEBRATE MOTHERS ♡ There is no station in life closer to The Divine than having the ability to growing a human from scratch, birth that person our from our bodies and into the world, and then to sustain their existence with our TITS! I'm forever
"EASY" BABIES ARE STRESSED! Ok, bear with me... In the baby world, there's a lot of talk about baby's temperaments. Are they easygoing, highly sensitive, or somewhere in between. In the sleep world, we often ignore the easygoing babies be
WOMEN DESERVE SUPPORT Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are a wild ride - and the medical industry has tried to take over this sacred rite of passage and has turned it into a traumatic, heartless, violent, terrifying process. We used to refer to L&am
MOVEMENT AND NATURE Today was freaking dreamy! Barefoot hike with the people I love most in the world, the Life Learners Co-op! The most organically created group of like-minded, sovereign, powerful families you'll ever know. I got to put my feet in
A PERFECT LATCH IS NOT THE GOAL! I assume there are more mamas that need to hear this, because I've heard from at least a few this week about the frustration they feel around their baby not being able to getting a "deep latch" or "per
HAPPY WORLD PUMPING DAY So, it's no secret that I hate pumping, AND I'm extremely grateful for the option. I needed full nipple rest at 6 weeks and was back to work at 12 weeks after my first baby - there is no chance we would have made it to 4.5 ye
EAT-PLAY-SLEEP IS TRASH. I know this goes against things I've said in the past, but you live, you learn, you improve - right? Breastfeeding is NOT a sleep association. It is a biological process that literally induces and sustains sleep while simul
BREASTFEEDING IS NECESSARY. Ah, there are so many ways to extrapolate on that statement... but here's my angle for today: If your baby cannot breastfeed successfully, meaning they cannot efficiently transfer milk from your tits into their stomach
WANTS ARE NOT NEEDS Let's start 2023 off with a bang, shall we? There is a lot of rhetoric in the natural parenting community, particularly around sleep and feeding. We tiptoe around on eggshells, saying things like "families have different nee
BRING IT. 2022 was an incredible year. I got to see my dreams come to fruition on levels I hadn't even imagined. I had the absolute privilege of supporting so many incredible moms and babies - every single one was a blessing and a wonderful opportun

Let’s talk tits!

Information about birth, boobs, and babies can be SO BORING! If you're looking for a fresh perspective on motherhood that doesn't bow down to the corporate interests (and isn't afraid to be snarky and controversial in the process), then this is the right podcast for you. This is where we respect human physiology, evolutionary biology, and find ways to heal ourselves while making ecological parenting work in the 21st century.
