Background

About Janiece Nelson

I have over 13 years experience in educating, supporting, and advocating for natural and healthy pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and postpartum care. I am a certified Breastfeeding Counselor through Health Connect One, I am also a certified DONA Doula. I have educated expected moms and their partners on the experience and benefits of breastfeeding as well as "how to" and to overcome various challenges to breastfeeding. My decisions to become a Doula and a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor came as a natural progression of my life's journey. I have successfully breastfed my own six children. I have had 5 unmedicated births ( 4 of which were VBACS). My second child was born through cesarean delivery. As a Doula, I strive to make the expectant mother's/parents experience enjoyable by making sure their desires and needs are communicated to doctors and hospital staff, providing knowledgeable and compassionate coaching during pregnancy, birthing, breastfeeding, and postpartum times, and being their to listen to and address their concerns. I am a believer in allowing your body to naturally do what it is designed to do. I believe in listening to your body and doing what's best for you.
