Casey is a Certified Postpartum and Infant Care Doula through ProDoula, holds a Lactation Education Counselor certificate through the University of San Diego, and is trained in respectful caregiving for infants (RIE).  With her undergraduate degree in exercise science and her master’s degree in counseling, she understands the importance of focusing on the social, emotional and physical experiences of postpartum families. Casey has expanded her knowledge on human development and has worked with children in every developmental stage, with an emphasis on newborn milestones and care techniques. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the postpartum experience by utilizing the skills she has learned over 14 years of nannying, primarily caring for infants of first-time parents. Throughout her career, she had the privilege of working with a diverse group of families from coast to coast giving Casey the opportunity to learn about different cultures and their childcare perspectives. As a postpartum doula, Casey believes in a whole family approach and individualizing the care and support she provides to fit each family’s needs. She focuses her support on helping families during the transition of welcoming a new baby into the home and understands how important and special this time is. Casey’s goal is to help families thrive, not just survive. It takes a village to raise a child, and she is honored to continue to be a support in so many villages. Privately, Casey is a mom to two children. Experiencing her own postpartum solidified her choice to continue to work in the maternal and infant care world.
