One of our resident ‘Grandma Doulas,’ Terrie came to us as a retired Art Therapist, Red Cross Volunteer, and aspiring Lactation Consultant. Having raised her three children and enjoyed visiting her several grandchildren, Terrie was ready for a new role as postpartum doula and overnight doula extraordinaire. Terrie has cared for twins and singletons, single moms, moms with postpartum mood disorders, and had made many a tasty meal for some of our most tired and hungry families. A chef and cooking instructor, Terrie specializes in cooking for special dietary needs (which many of our families have) and nurturing through both newborn care and meal prep. Her calm and attentive nature allows her to quietly listen to new families, anticipate their needs, and meet them while new parents rest and recuperate. We are thankful to have her bringing together her years of experience in many fields to serve our families.
