About me!
My name is Marlo Knight. I am a Certified Postpartum Doula and Certified Postpartum Nutrition Specialist as well as a Certified Newborn Care Specialist. I love supporting families during the magical and sleep deprived first weeks of their baby's life! As a postpartum doula I am committed to providing compassionate support and guidance to new parents during the fourth trimester. I am always looking to bring a sense of peace and calm to the homes I am invited into and I strive to create a judgement free space for parents to ask questions and express themselves freely. With a focus on holistic wellness, I offer evidence based information, emotional support, and practical assistance to ensure a smooth and fulfilling postpartum experience free of fear and self doubt. As a mother of 3 and a grandmother, I bring with me lots of experience in nurturing little ones and their mamas.
In my free time I enjoy my volunteer work, cooking (my love language), wine tasting with my best guy, family time with my girls and their families, and naps with my cat.
I look forward to getting acquainted with you!
