Lactation Consultant

Sejal Fichadia became a lactation consultant in 2016 with the goal to provide evidence-informed care for new parents and their babies. She feels that when you help a new parent nurture their baby, you are helping the entire family feel nurtured.

Breastfeeding support from IBLCE-certified consultant (International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners). Sejal will be walking you through some common questions that can arise during the first three months of a newborn’s life. Specific issues are addressed and an ideology is presented that is comforting and accepting. Sejal is the owner of Kindred Mother Care and is also a part of Natural Latch Lactation. 

Nutritionist

Working with a nutritionist can benefit you in many ways. Whether you want to optimize your diet and lifestyle or need to manage a medical condition, a professional nutritionist can help you assess your current diet and eating habits and steer you towards the path of clean eating and healthier choices.

Liat has a Master’s in the Science of Nutrition and is a Certified Nutrition Specialist®. She provides nutrition education, nutrition counseling, personalized meal plans and coaching toward healthier body and skin. Her biology background, and service in the army as a medic, brings a practical approach to address a healthy food lifestyle.

Sleep Coach

My name is Marie-Eve, and I am a former sleep-deprived mom on a mission to help tired families get the sleep they need. When researching baby sleep coaching I eventually found Kim West and we started her Sleep Lady Shuffle method right away. It was as if a dark cloud had lifted from above our home, taking away my feelings of hopelessness, doubts, frustration and… exhaustion!

I decided to become a sleep coach to help other tired families get the sleep they need. I joined the Gentle Sleep Coach training program offered by Kim West (a.k.a. The Sleep Lady) and I am now the first person in the state of Oregon to graduate from this comprehensive program.

Herbalist

Many years ago I suffered from severe bouts of IBS and doctors repeatedly told me there was “nothing wrong with me”. While it felt good to be told that I didn’t have any scary diseases I was completely lost when the professionals seemed convinced that I was in perfect health while simultaneously experiencing incredible pain.

 This ultimately led me down a path of figuring out which foods nourished me & which foods depleted me, with the addition of some self-love & sound nutrition advice, I learned how to feel my absolute best consistently over the long term with a few easy, manageable steps. Further courses and accreditations allowed me to turn the negatives into positives and create a coaching approach that is supportive yet direct and incredibly empowering. 

Acupuncturist

Sivan is a Licensed Acupuncturist with the Oregon Medical Board and is Nationally Certified by NCCAOM. She earned her Master’s Degree in Acupuncture at Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York, NY. After graduation, Sivan completed an internship at Tri-State and became a Faculty Assistant, teaching clinical practice.

Before moving to Oregon, she practiced in New York both in private practice and as a team member of a community acupuncture clinic.  Sivan has post-graduate training in Shonishin, Pediatrics, Pregnancy, Postpartum and Facial Rejuvenation.   

Aquatic Therapy

Victor Barreda-Pazos earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy in 2005. After years of working in different realms of healthcare as a Physical Therapist and Massage Therapist in Europe, he became a Watsu® Provider with the International School of Watsu® in Spain; then a Licensed Massage Therapist in Oregon in 2016, and a Watsu® Practitioner in 2018 with the WorldWide Aquatic Bodywork Association.

He became a father in 2010 and discovered a new passion for the power of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood with the knowledge gained from studying pregnancy and birth alongside his wife, a Full Spectrum Doula.

Postpartum Planning Workbook

A postpartum plan is a detailed outline of how you will get the rest, support, and care you need when your baby comes. Build Your Nest a Postpartum Planning Workbook includes important information and a personalized planning process.

The workbook was a lifesaver! I didn’t realize how challenging the postpartum period would be.
