Hi, I'm Gemma—founder of New Parent Harmony.

I'm a certified postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and pediatric sleep consultant with over 20 years of experience supporting families.

I walk beside families during the tender postpartum season with a steady, judgment-free presence. Whether you're healing, learning to feed your baby, or craving more sleep, my role is to help you feel grounded, informed, and genuinely supported—not rushed or corrected.
