Jocelyn has a passion for working with babies and supporting new families, especially NICU families. She is a supporter of strong parent/infant connection. Her graduate work & career were focused on infants & prematurity and she has worked in Perinatal/Pediatric Health and Wellness, in areas like the NICU, Early Intervention, ChildFind and a Virtual Women’s Clinic, for over 15 years.
Her experience as a mom of two children and their personal journey together (emergency C-section, birth trauma, a short NICU stay, health & feeding problems) only added to her skill set & she experienced firsthand the difficulty of finding the right support after having a new baby. Her background and training in OT, Infant Feeding & Lactation, Maternal - Paternal - Infant Mental Health, Trauma Informed Care, Infant Massage/Bodywork, Manual Therapies and Coaching, all inform her holistic, evidence based and compassionate approach to supporting families.
She recognizes each family’s hopes, needs and experiences are unique and she personalizes the support she provides leaning into her training, intuition & lessons from her own personal wellness practices and journey. She centers the importance of culture & family and practices culturally sensitive care. Her support is evidence based & free of judgement and you will find comfort in her guidance to help you make choices that feel right for your baby, your body, your family. Parent & baby Health & Wellness, Culture, Connection & Community are at the root of her practice.
