A little about Donna … She is a proud mother of two grown children and confesses that the brightest, most rewarding light in her life has been the gift of motherhood and raising her children. Her passion to be part of the much-needed support system for the postpartum industry was sparked following the birth of her son.  She suffered postpartum depression resulting from extreme sleep deprivation and lack of confidence. Her maternal struggles drove her to pursue her “calling” as a Postpartum Doula. She is now the Founder of Newborn Nurtury, a placement registry that connects families with birth and postpartum professionals for support.

 

Her 9-year path as an Postpartum Doula also involved managing a Doula/NCS team where she served as a mentor on every level - daily coaching, interviewing new parents, negotiating contracts, recommending the right products, listening to personal concerns, and helping to navigate client concerns.  Over the years, she realized that hands-on coaching and mentoring is much needed in our industry and something she is absolutely passionate about!

 

Donna elevated herself as a Postpartum Doula and NCS because of the many mentors she had when she first began her career.  It is now her calling to empower and elevate those women who share the same desire to enter the In-home Postpartum Care industry. 

 

“It is both an honor and a privilege to launch Elevating Postpartum to the NCS and Postpartum Doula community of professionals by offering a mentoring and continuing education program designed to elevate knowledge and deliver hours of hands-on personal experience in our chosen profession.”
