Message to new parents
Pregnancy and the postpartum period is a unique time that requires a village. I love being able to be a part of a family's village as they navigate this time in their lives. I've had the pleasure of working as a nurse in multiple areas such as labor and delivery, postpartum, and the neonatal ICU. Each space comes with its own distinct joys and challenges, and I hope my experience in these areas can help me be a resource to you and your family.

On the other hand, she helped me feel more prepared with what’s to come and with new tactics new positions and insights on how to make the breast-feeding process easier. Lastly, Sandra‘s demeanor, calmness and professionalism made this visit, just a few days after birth, so much more enjoyable and in a safe space." - Partum Health client, April 2025

"Sandra helped me improve my baby's latch and troubleshoot his clicking while feeding. I really appreciated her taking the time to explain what she was doing. She had excellent bedside manners!" - Partum Health client, April 2025
"Sandra was great! She gave me such peace of mind and helped me and my infant get a better latch and overall breastfeeding experience. Before I met with her, I had almost lost hope that I would be able to breastfeed my baby. After she left, I had my confidence renewed and started breastfeeding again. Since he has been doing well and always has a full belly after a feeding. I am finally starting to build a small stash so I can have a bit more freedom, too. Sandra listened to my worries and goals and helped make a reasonable plan to help meet all my needs and obligations. I can say that after she left, I no longer felt overwhelmed. She also gave great tips, took her time, and gave hands-on adjustments when needed. I honestly can't say more positive things. Highly recommend. I have already recommended her to a few friends." - Partum Health client, May 2025
