Meet Abby B.

Abby is a birth and postpartum CAPPA certified doula on our team, as well as a certified lactation educator. She has been working in family education and support for over 20 years. She began her career in medical environments focusing on women’s health, reproductive education and care, prenatal care, and newborn wellness. Her career developed over the years to include writing a curriculum for a nonprofit postpartum home visiting program, hundreds of free home visits to support postpartum and lactation with families in her home community, and building a business to train other labor doulas and postpartum doulas as faculty for CAPPA. 

She has received training in child development, child psychology, communication skills, parenting, and family wellness. As a postpartum doula, her style is friendly, intelligent, compassionate and collaborative. She enjoys teaching new parents about their newborns so they feel more attuned and confident. 

Abby specializes in 24/7 care for newborns. She loves supporting families in overnights so parents can get much-needed rest. As a certified lactation educator, she can collaborate on a breastfeeding plan that builds a great milk supply, gives baby all the nutrition they need, and prioritizes overnight sleep while she’s caring for baby. She loves caring for parents and newborns so they all get a great start.
