Perinatal support coach for new parents or soon to become parents

Ayla Parker

Perinatal Support Coach

Hi there! I’m Ayla. I’ve been working with families for 15 years as a nanny and have recently become a mother myself. I realized after becoming a mother, that there was a huge lack of support for people who are working towards pregnancy, navigating being pregnant, and healing postpartum.

I hope to help you and your family navigate the avalanche of opinions and information online and from your community, giving you peace and clarity in this season. Together we walk through every choice: Are you going to use purées or baby lead weening? What bassinet is right for you? Do you want more structure to your newborns routine or go off intuition? I have worked with all kinds of parents and seen how many situations have benefits and some have risks/drawbacks. Together we can come up with an actionable plan. You are not alone!

How I can help

Both partners working towards optimal health is super beneficial before you get pregnant. If you can start a year before conception that is best case scenario but minimum 3 months for high quality egg and sperm. This can make your pregnancy physically easier and has improved health benefits for your future child.
No one told me how difficult and painful pregnancy can be, but there are a ton of resources and solutions that your doctor or midwife won’t mention. I will help you navigate this challenging season, I am relentless in finding solutions that will fit your budget or are covered by insurance!
Healing postpartum is difficult and this is the season you will need the most support. I can help with all the logistics when you aren’t feeling up to managing them yourself.
I help parents manage behavior issues and reset their family’s nervous systems so that your household is full of peace. I can help you weigh the pros and cons to all types of parenting strategies to find the one(s) that are most aligned with your family.
