candace (she/her)

postpartum doula + lactation consultant (IBCLC)

Candace is a certified postpartum doula and an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) who has worked with birthing families for 19 years. She has been fascinated by all things pregnancy and birth since she was a teenager when she discovered Ina May Gaskin’s book Spiritual Midwifery. Ever since then she knew she would work with birthing families.

After having her own 4 children and experiencing traumatic birth experiences and difficult postpartum periods, Candace’s work has since evolved into helping others to have the support they need in their journeys as parents. She is always working on learning more so that she can better support the families she serves.
