About Us
Baby Bliss was founded out of a desire to ease the burdens new parents face when navigating postpartum life.
Our three co-founders met while working in the pediatric healthcare industry. We’re all lactation consultants, but each of us brings a different specialty to the table: Sabrina is a doula who helps parents through labor and delivery. Annette is a craniosacral therapist who uses bodywork to relieve tension in patients, both big and small. And Shana is an occupational therapist focused on early intervention. We knew from years of experience that kids who have trouble nursing benefit from an interdisciplinary approach to care. But we also knew that most parents didn’t have a lot of time to run around to multiple appointments a week.
Our solution? Join forces to create a one-stop shop for all your feeding and therapy needs. To us, bliss stands for Bodywork, Lactation, Integrating Sensory, and Support. To our families, it represents finding joy in the small wins each and every day.
We’re therapists, nurses, and internationally board-certified lactation consultants. Most importantly, we’re parents who have experienced some of the same challenges as our clients. We don’t just bring our professional expertise to work but also a healthy dose of compassion and empathy.
We’re honored you’d want to get to know us, and we can’t wait to meet you and your little one.
