About

About Allison

Hi there. My Mama Coach journey started because I wanted to find another way to support parents as they go through the transformational process of pregnancy and parenthood. I believe in empowering women and families by providing evidence-based information, partnership, and support to help them achieve their goals. My love for Obstetrics started after I saw my first birth in nursing school; I have spent the majority of my 16 years as a nurse working in labor & maternity units. I am board certified for inpatient obstetrics (RNC-OB) and internationally board certified in lactation (IBCLC). In addition to running Mama Coach, I work as a birth assistant at Cocoon Wellness and Birth.
