Yvette is a well loved CAPPA trained postpartum doula. Yvette believes that the 4th trimester is an important transitional phase for everyone and she loves that she can have such a positive impact on families so that they can thoroughly enjoy this transformative time. She has been working with newborns, kids, and families for over 25 years. Families think of Yvette as a baby whisperer.

She has also volunteered in baby rooms and in church nurseries. Overall, Yvette has always supported families and that is her passion.

Yvette has a wide range of skill sets including: an innate ability to jump right in and support families with exactly what they need, a gift at caring for babies and helping soothe even the fussiest of babies and a wealth of knowledge surrounding babies, families and breastfeeding.  Yvette is passionate about helping families to meet their feeding goals and she successfully breastfed each of her own three kids through their first year of life. She is a strong support for her clients, friends and the community with all things baby, family and breastfeeding.
