Aimee (she/her)
Aimee has worked closely with families for over sixteen years cultivating nurturing environments for children to grow and flourish. Her work narrowed in 2017 to focus on the early days of parenting when she became a Postpartum Doula. Aimee believes that when families are supported, resourced, and connected during the first weeks after bringing a baby home it can change the trajectory of their parenting journey, improve family relationships, and strengthen community. She is grateful to work in this short window of time as families get to know their little one and find their footing.
Community has always been important to Aimee. When she is not helping parents build theirs, she is inviting Doulas over to her home for food & connection, supporting new Doulas as they discover this work, and almost always planning an event to bring people together.
You can also find Aimee working on her fixer-upper of a house, attempting to grow things in her garden, and riding her bicycle around the city with her husband.
