About Me

Linda is a Northern California native who has always been inspired by new life, especially seedling redwood trees and the "naked lady" lilies that bloom in the fall. She has loved living in Atlanta, Gulfport, and Austin, but is happy to be back in Sonoma County, with "her people."

When that beautiful baby girl was born during Linda's first birth, she realized that being a part of new life was her calling. Linda loves the way birth turns people into families—turning women and men into mothers and fathers, and she treasures meeting babies on their very first day of life.

She brings lactation support skills and a deep love of babies to every family she works with.

Practice Philosophy

I believe every birthing family deserves easily understandable childbirth education, comforting physical support, and loving emotional support. I'm passionate about making birth a peaceful and empowering experience, one where families feel informed, cared for, and truly capable.

Drawing on my lactation support skills, my love of babies, and my "free hands," I give families room to settle into their new lives together with confidence. I love helping families build the skills they need to care for their new baby (or babies!), while making space for the rest and nurture they need to thrive.

Overall, my goal is to help families step into parenthood with assurance, peace, and confidence, and maybe even a sense of humor, as they meet their little one and grow into their new roles.
