What’s Most Important Right Now.
(And I’ve got you covered. Don’t worry.)
Having a Parent Coach
No one expects you to have all the answers or know ALL THE THINGS related to parenting—this is new territory for you. Let me be your Parent Coach and Advocate so you can stop scouring the internet and spend more time snuggling your new little one!
Neuroprotection
You’ll learn how to provide care to your new baby using research-based strategies. These techniques will support positive brain growth and maturation, helping to enable long-term success throughout life.
Family-Centered Care
Addressing you as parents and your baby in the context of a family unit is critical. I’ll help you understand neuro-nurturing and integrate your family’s values, preferences and cultural backgrounds to best care for your baby.
I know you’re scared and confused.
I want to take your sweet face in my hands and say…
“There’s gonna be lots of ups and downs, frustrations and tears—lots of tears—and lots of doubting yourself. BUT there are snuggles and firsts and freshly bathed baby smells and tiny miracles every single day. I can’t make the pain go away, but I do want to lessen the load. I want to walk alongside you and light the way for you, cry with you, and listen and help. I know you have it all within you to make it through this journey. I’ll be right here, right beside you the entire way. You won’t be alone.

A few families who’ve made it through…
(with a little help from a friend)
“I so appreciate you teaching me how to read Ava’s cues. It has made me feel more confident in feeding and caring for her. We will miss seeing you each day. You made our experience in the NICU so much better and Josh and I both deeply appreciate all the time you spent teaching and helping us.”
~ Mom of a 32-week baby girl
“At a time when we were overwhelmed and didn’t feel like we knew what we were doing, Micha was always reassuring and gave us confidence as new parents to premature twins. Her calm demeanor and thorough knowledge were such a comfort to my husband and I. We are so grateful to Micha for all of her help and guidance during that time. We tell everyone how grateful we are that she was put into our family’s life.”
~ Mom of 32-week twins
“Breastfeeding was something I wanted to do, but with having a micro premie, ‘fed is best’ became my motto. Micha not only helped me achieve my breastfeeding goal, but she also made my husband and I comfortable with feeding in general, making sure his flow matched his ability, and helped us become aware of distress and how to respond.”
~ Mom of 28-week baby boy
“Micha was wonderful with our family when my son had a long NICU stay. Things can be complicated and scary when you have a preemie and we were so grateful for her kind and compassionate care! Feeding was very tough for our little one, and Micha helped us navigate through the process and taught us so much.”
~ Mom of 24-week baby boy
