You Don’t Have to Navigate the NICU Alone
Whether your baby is still in the NICU or you’re adjusting to life at home, support is here — from professionals who truly understand this journey.
Every NICU Story is Different
But none of them should be faced without support.
The NICU Translator was created to help families feel more informed, connected, and confident throughout their baby’s care. Whether you need someone to help you understand medical updates, support bonding and feeding, or simply hold space for your emotions, you deserve that care.
A NICU Doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, educational, and practical support to families before, during, and after a NICU stay.
They’re not medical staff — they’re your bridge between the medical world and your world as a parent. NICU Doulas are trained in trauma-informed care, developmental support, communication with medical teams, and family-centered advocacy.
NICU Doulas Can Help You:
Prepare for a possible NICU stay during pregnancy
Understand your baby’s care and communicate with providers
Support feeding, bonding, and mental health
Transition home after discharge with confidence

This one-on-one work is deeply personal — offering individualized guidance, emotional support, and practical strategies for navigating your NICU journey.
If I’m unavailable, I’ll help connect you with one of our trusted graduates who shares my same approach and philosophy of care.
