Clarissa

Michael

Hi! I am a Certified Postpartum Doula and Lactation Education Counselor. Under these roles, I start supporting and caring for families who are expecting a newborn(s) by teaching prenatal newborn care and lactation foundation classes. For those who recently birthed a newborn(s), I continue to provide compassionate and nonjudgmental support while I guide them during the first few weeks of their lactation journey, teach baby-related skills, and emotionally support the parents and infant(s). In addition to my doula work, I offer 1:1 lactation counseling for those who need some foundational support..

We used Clarissa's services once our little miracle baby came home from the NICU. We were first time parents and I was recovering from horrible pregnancy complications. She was absolutely incredible. She answered every question with proficiency and knowledge and made me so so comfortable. Bonus: being able to sleep at night was CRUCIAL for my sanity. I didn't have to worry that my baby was safe because I knew she was in great hands. Doulas are incredible and I would highly recommend Clarissa's services! To this day, we use the tips and tricks she taught us to keep a very happy little household.

Work experience

As a Certified Posptartum Doula and Lactation Education Counselor, my passion lies in educating, supporting, and holding space for all parents of newborn(s). My trainings and experience provide me the opportunity to teach prenatal classes for expecting parents, both privately in the home and in a group setting, and counsel families 1:1 with lactation support. Some of my specialities and services revolve around my knowledge of how to build a lactation foundation in the early weeks, care for a newborn, support the parent(s) based on their individual needs, and create infant routines. I have worked primarily nighttime shifts as a doula for 6 years and plan to start the IBCLC Pathway II Program in the Fall of 2025.
