"I highly recommend Heather. I left my three preemie newborns in her care and she never once failed me. She is completely trustworthy and comes to you with excellent experience."
~Christina H.
"Heather’s calm, knowledgeable, and experienced approach to newborns instantly put all of us at ease. The lessons we learned from Heather were life changing for us and for our baby. He is happier and so are we!"
~Elizabeth, Paradise Valley, AZ
“Employing Heather was one of the best decisions we have made. Having a 'stranger' in the house handling our newborn was new ground for us, and of course we were a little anxious to start with, but Heather immediately put us at ease… her support to a new mom was invaluable.”
Expecting? Not sure what parenting style and nursery items are right for you? Preparation and starting good habits early is so much easier on babies and families. Families that start off with proper habits prevent many sleep, eating, attachment and other problems that arise during the first few months. Don't waste money on popular nursery items! Save money and learn about non toxic baby care; Consult Before Birth!
Exhausted parent of a newborn or newborn multiples? Don't feel bad!! 80% of babies are quite exhausting, and with the loss of sleep that occurs in the first few weeks (or months) it takes less and less to wear a parent down. Relief can be simple and cost effective when we work together.
Frustrated with your pediatrician? Does your doctor take the time to really understand in your visits? If so keep him/her! Or do you take your time waiting and waiting just to see a string of lower level practitioners and be told you are over reacting by someone who is obviously not living in your home with your baby? NCSs will work in the trenches with you in YOUR home to help identify and resolve any issues.
Confused about the differences in all the "how-to" baby books mommy groups and talk shows? There is a lot of conflicting confusing information out there. Heather's approach is to listen to you and your baby(ies), identify any issues, and suggest and explain a simple course of action to get the results your family is ready for. She can even help you select and simplify your parenting style so that everyone is working together creating a more consistent, peaceful well rested family!
