She holds multiple certifications in midwifery and obstetrics. She has been a Registered Nurse since 2014, with experience in both High- Risk Labor and Delivery and Cardiac nursing.

Alyssa received her midwifery training in several settings, including a birth center (including home birth & waterbirth) a public health clinic, and a hospital. Alyssa also works as a Family Coach, and supports families throughout the United States to increase their preparedness for their new baby, strengthen parenting skills, and provide education and support throughout the parenting journey. Alyssa is happily married and has 4 children.
She has had a mixture of birth experiences, from traditional hospital birth to home birth with midwives. Her hobbies include gardening, teaching, learning languages, going to church, and spending time with her family. Alyssa speaks English, Spanish, and French, and is passionate about offering care to culturally diverse populations.
Alyssa is dedicated to perinatal and women's mental health, and seeks to support and offer hope to new families going through the ups and downs of new parenthood and the challenges of daily life.
Her philosophy of birth is that childbirth is a safe and normal life event for the majority of women, and should not be feared. She feels strongly that every woman has the right to choose where she wishes to give birth, and should have access to a safe healthcare system that supports her.
Alyssa focuses on evidence-based practice in childbirth, with a special attention to serving her local community, and the process of creating a new family. Her strengths are her empathy, ability to connect with others, and optimistic outlook.

Blair is a St. Louis native. She received her Bachelor's in Nutrition and Dietetics from Saint Louis University. It was during her 5+ year career with Women, Infants, Children (WIC) that her passion for motherhood, pregnancy and breastfeeding ignited. Last fall, Blair earned her IBCLC certification.
In the last 2 years she's been on the labor and delivery ward at 2 area hospitals, helping mothers gain confidence in initiating their breastfeeding journey. While Blair promotes, protects, and supports breastfeeding fiercely, her first priority is supporting the mother and works to meet every client where THEY are at. Fed is a given, informed is ideal, but a supported mother is best.
A unique aspect to Blair’s experience is her familiarity with the formula industry and its various products/approaches. Blair supports all types of feeding styles, whether it’s exclusive breastfeeding, exclusively expressing milk, exclusively formula or combo method! Blair's strengths are her empathy, flexibility and dedication.
Blair's aim is to bridge the gap between intention and execution; many mothers intend to breastfeed but more often than not, the system falls short. She seeks to be that connection that provides guidance, information and empowerment to families who find themselves in need of a lactation/infant feeding specialist.
In addition to being an IBCLC, Blair is a nutritionist who can assist in assessing supplements, and tailor different nutrition recommendations to help families meet their goals. She is happily married with 2 very young children (3 and 6 months), both born with the invaluable assistance and assurance from nurse-midwives.
