About Janice

I have always had a love of pregnancy, birth, mothers, and babies and began my career in 2005 as a registered nurse working in a hospital labor unit. My husband and I excitedly welcomed fraternal boy/girl twins to our family in 2009. I then began my work as a stay at home mom including research on how to make our home safe, avoid toxins, and explored the world of cloth diapers. After noticing a lack of local resources for families interested in using cloth diapers, I became a real diaper circle leader with the non-profit organization Real Diaper Association and began to teach free cloth diapering classes for my community. Shortly after, I joined the RDA's board of directors.

Over the years as a stay at home mom, I focused my continuing education nursing studies on pregnancy, birth, and lactation related subjects. I have taken workshops on childbirth education, birth doula work, social justice & anti-racism work, postpartum doula work, became a CLC (certified lactation counselor) in 2016, and became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2019.

In 2017 I began my training as an Intuitive Energy Practitioner. I completed my trainings in April of 2020 and am grateful to continue to support clients with the gift of energetic healing.

I gladly support a diverse population of growing families in a nurturing, judgement free environment. I specialize in supporting families with twins. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
