This is an OBGYN blog about how to give birth and care for your new baby written by me, a Nurse Practitioner and mother of three. This page is where YOU get to reap the benefits of my professional and personal experience.
My hope is that your interaction with me and these posts, as well as my Sweet Pea Prep classes leaves you feeling more connected, less alone, and empowered to be yourself as a parent and woman. Giving birth and raising kids requires support and I hope you find some tips and advice that resonate with you on your personal journey.

I am committed to easing the transition to parenting for expectant individuals through online courses, resources, my in person Nurse Practitioner Practice, and this blog. It’s nice to meet you.
I have three kids who are growing up way too fast and I love food (eating it not making it!), family trips to the shore, and finding creative mom solutions to make my life (and yours) easier.
I hope to see you in class and back to the blog often!
Happy Browsing,
Lisa
