Elmira, New York Newborn and Maternity Photographer | Featured Local Business | The Mama Coach
Are you a new mama or parent looking for extra support before or after the birth of your little one? Pregnancy and postpartum can be an exciting and overwhelming time. There are so many different voices out there telling you what you should be doing or not doing. All that noise can increase your anxiety and make it difficult to navigate through your big life change.
Are you ready for someone to address your fears, support, and empower you through your parenthood journey? At Mama Coach, we do just that! I am devoted to helping make the transition into parenthood easier through scientific, informative, and compassionate holistic support. I approach every family as unique individuals with their own special set of needs.
SCIENCE + EMPATHY + SUPPORT
What exactly is Mama Coach? It is my private RN practice. I am part of a team of Registered Nurses across North America committed to Making Motherhood Easier. We provide non-judgmental, evidence-based support, and education on a wide variety of issues. All of my services can be offered in person or virtually, including:
Prenatal Education Classes
Feeding Support
Lactation Consultation Services
Breastfeeding & Pumping Workshops
Postpartum & Newborn Visits
Sleep Coaching
Feeding & Sleep Workshops
Prenatal Classes & Workshops are a great opportunity to educate yourself ahead of time. This will help you feel informed and prepared for birth & taking care of your infant. Prenatal classes are available for small groups at select locations, virtually, or via in-home private classes. Virtual Workshops are typically offered monthly, on a variety of topics from Pumping & Bottle Feeding, Infant Sleep, Starting Solids, to Toilet Learning. Prenatal classes include email support through delivery. Breastfeeding and Bottlefeeding & Pumping workshops include a 15-minute phone consultation following the workshop. All classes & workshops include comprehensive e-books for continual reference.
Rest assured Mama Coach Allison has over 15 years of experience working as a Registered Nurse with the obstetric and newborn population. I am board-certified in in-patient obstetrics and as a Lactation Consultant. In addition to that, I hold a certification in Women's Health Coaching. I love partnering with new families and watching them grow in confidence throughout the process. It’s really beautiful to see new moms and dads embrace their new roles. I feel privileged to be part of a profession that allows me to witness such a transformation.
What working with me looks like: First, we would book a free 15-minute connection call to review your potential needs. We then schedule an appointment, if we are a good fit for each other. One-on-One support packages are done in the comfort of your own home or virtually using a secure platform. After scheduling, I send you forms to complete through my confidential electronic medical record system, so that I can further assess how to best support you. Most consults & assessments take around 90 minutes to complete. We review both the mother & infant’s health history, infant feeding, and sleep. Together we create a comprehensive plan to address your concerns. Depending on the individual package chosen, follow-up may include 1 email or up to 8 weeks of phone and email support. Also included are detailed ebooks for reference.
I am passionate about using my nursing skills and knowledge to support women and families as they move through this phase of life. Part of the reason I switched from bedside nursing to private perinatal support services is to have more time and freedom to offer the type of holistic care and education families deserve and I believe in.
