Bio
Hi, I’m Doreen, mother of 2, RN and IBCLC with more than 20 years with experience in L&D, High-Risk Obstetrics, Post-Partum and Nursery. My passion is helping guide new families into their most challenging and rewarding role. I would love to take the time to get to know you and what challenges you face to tailor my support to your needs in a judgement free zone.
What drew you into working with parents-to-be?
I have learned as a nurse and mother that bombarding new families with education in their short hospital stay is not the most effective teaching methods. This is what led me to starting my mama coach journey. My own motherhood journey included two high risk pregnancies, a rough post partum recovery and several breastfeeding challenges.
How much experience do you have?
I have been a nurse for more than 20 years with focus in L&D, PP, high risk Obstetrics, Nursey and NICU. I have coached and consulted with hundreds of families.
What locations or areas do you serve?
DFW, Texas area. I do private consulting in your home if you are specifically in the southern area of DFW: Arlington/Mansfield/GP/Midlothian/Kennedale/Burleson and surrounding areas.
What's your top piece of advice for an expectant mom?
Create specific goals in mind. Go beyond "Healthy mom/healthy baby"! "I want to exclusively breastfeed my baby for 6 months" or " I want to deepen the bond with my child by having uninterrupted skin to skin time for the first two hours of my baby's life" Once you have a few goals seek out the experts that will help support you in these goals.
