Who Is This For?
Who Is This For?
Soma Lactation & Maternal Care is for parents who want steady, thoughtful support during pregnancy and early postpartum, not rushed visits or fragmented care. It may be a good fit if you:
Are expecting and want to feel prepared
Want time to ask questions and feel fully heard
Want a nurse practitioner who can address medical concerns and prescribe when needed, without sending you elsewhere
Want continuity from pregnancy through early postpartum
Want support for your recovery and mood, not just feeding
Are planning to return to work and want a realistic feeding plan
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from care. Many families choose Soma proactively, to prevent common challenges, build confidence, and create a calmer start.
I’m always happy to coordinate with the rest of your care team, including your OB, midwifery, and pediatric providers, so your care stays connected.
