For as long as I can remember, I have been in love with babies!
My oldest memories are of me playing with my Baby Alive Doll. Being a mother was my greatest dream! I was loved and nurtured by the most amazing mother and I wanted to be just like her. I was blessed with a beautiful and amazing son, who is now 36 years old. (My how time flies). He was, and is, a pure joy to my heart! I spent the first 20 years of my adult life working with moms and children in a variety of aspects, from nanny to home-daycare to pre-school teacher (infants to 2 years) to mentoring new moms. I took a short break (20 years) to develop a very successful wedding business, but my first love, moms and babies, kept calling me back. I gave in to the call and founded Mentors 4 Moms! Babies don’t come with instructions, but I do! I am a ProDoula trained Postpartum and Infant Care Doula with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I am continually expanding my evidence-based education and I am currently studying for certification as Lamaze Childbirth Educator and Breastfeeding Specialist. I am so excited to share with you the greatest joy, the journey of giving birth and becoming a mom. I am here to give you non-judgmental support while being respectful and sensitive to the multiple cultures and backgrounds of my families. I bring a calming spirit to couples while helping you navigate pregnancy, birth and your early months as new parents. I see the journey of birth and parenting as a sacred process that changes you forever. I love to "mother the mother" will and provide you with evidence-based education to empower you to be the amazing mom that I know you can be! I feel honored to walk with you through this unique journey in your life and I promise to provide you with personal attention, nurturing and gentle guidance, along with a some fun and laughter. Everyone calls me Auntie Lynn ....... I hope you will too! |
