I provide evidence-based telehealth postpartum support and education for newborn care and lactation. I’m honored to help parents build confidence with breastfeeding guidance, lactation anatomy, bottle-feeding, soothing techniques, infant sleep, swaddling, babywearing, and other essential care practices. My approach is developmentally appropriate and focused on safe sleep habits, parent sleep management, postpartum recovery, and gentle routines that support the whole family. I help parents understand what to expect, establish healthy rhythms, identify potential feeding challenges early, and create a calm, confident foundation for their postpartum journey.
Welcoming a baby brings joy and adjustment to family life. I offer calm, knowledgeable postpartum support as you adjust. I bring expertise grounded in evidence and care rooted in empathy. As a Certified Postpartum Doula (PCD DONA) and Certified Lactation Educator (CLE) with a master's degree in public health and over 15 years in healthcare, I offer comprehensive knowledge across multiple areas. Credentials are just the foundation, and compassionate support is what brings it all together.

Kimberly Gazard, MPH, CLE, CLSP, PCD, CAIMT
After becoming a mother to two wonderful children, I developed a deep passion for postpartum care. My own experience showed me how important support during the fourth trimester truly is, and it inspired me to help other families feel informed, cared for, and confident as they navigate this special season. My goal is to empower you with knowledge, hold space for your questions, and support the choices that feel best for your family. Through evidence-based information, I’m here to help you feel supported every step of the way.
I offer virtual appointments and text/email support for reassurance and evidence-based guidance during the early weeks at home.

Kind Words From Postpartum Families…
“Our family was so incredibly lucky to have Kimberly support us during my fourth trimester with my second child. After working with several postpartum doulas with my first child, I knew how important it was to find the right fit. Not only was Kimberly knowledgeable, organized, reliable, gentle, personable, and caring--she was able to respond calmly to our questions and concerns about breastfeeding, pumping, and baby care in general. She's full of personal wisdom, educational resources, and an interest in continuing education in her field. I'm so grateful to have had her steady guidance in those first early months and have no doubt that she was the key to giving us the best, strongest start to being a family of four that we could have ever imagined! Any family would be fortunate to engage her services--the tender care she gave to our baby and friendship she granted to us made a big impact on our lives.”

“I can't recommend Kimberly enough as a postpartum doula! Even before our baby arrived, she was a rockstar, sending over incredibly helpful resources on everything from breastfeeding to nutrition and pumping. Those really helped calm my nerves and made me feel so much more prepared. Once our little one was here, Kimberly was amazing, especially with all things lactation and pumping. She also checked in on me often, always ready with a plan to tackle whatever new challenge popped up. If you're looking for support, Kimberly is truly amazing!”
