About Me
Hi! I'm Elizabeth
My journey into the world of child and family care began with my first nanny job in 2008. I pursued other careers through a business degree and a brief stint in the non-profit world, but my heart pulled me back to families.
In 2017 I was in a car accident that almost left me paralyzed. Recovery was challenging and I found myself struggling to find a "why". Six months after my accident I found my reason for recovery when I became a postpartum doula, followed shortly by lactation counselor, and infant massage instructor. Supporting new families energized me. Instead of feeling exhausted at the end of a day I felt alive. Once I started on this career path I could not imagine doing anything else. All these years later, this still holds true.
In 2019, I began my journey to become a registered nurse, obtaining my licensure in January 2023. During this time I found my passion in working with NICU babies and their families. The NICU can bring unique challenges to new families who deserve the best support.
​
I began pursuing a sleep consultant certification after realizing that much of my work as a postpartum doula involved guiding parents through their baby's sleep. I never suggested cry-it-out methods to my clients-- although I always supported them when that was a choice that they made. I felt I needed to pursue a sleep course that expanded my gentle sleep approach. The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program did exactly that.
​
In 2018 I began the journey to be a single mom by choice. My oldest son was born in April 2020 and my youngest in August 2023. These boys light up my world like nothing else. Yes, our house is sticky, loud and full of chaos-- but it is also full of more joy than I knew possible. In 2024, my partner joined our family and has become the most amazing second mom to my kiddos.
In my free time, I volunteer at the children’s hospital and spend time with my family. We enjoy visiting the library, going for bike rides, and listening to local music. We live in Champlin, MN with our cat, Eloise, and our dog, Pacer.
