Hi! I’m Meredith, a full-spectrum birth worker and native Minnesotan. I live in St Paul with my family and our three rescue dogs. There’s never a dull moment in our house!
I support birthing and lactating families through an array of thoughtfully-crafted, unique, and individualized offerings to normalize the experience and let parents know they are not alone in this.
Aiming to be a "one-stop shop,” I offer wrap-around services and prioritize the delivery of evidence-based information through engaging and interactive classes on health & wellness promotion and injury prevention, as well as traditional parent & family education topics.
I come at birth work from a holistic perspective to meet the wide spectrum of educational and support needs of this population, both in our local community and virtually, through self-pay services.
I’m of the belief that all families deserve love, support, & grace as they navigate the perinatal and early parenting transition. I opened CP&L to do just that.
“Meredith is amazing!
She has SO much knowledge. She is also fantastic at teaching. She helped us come up with a postpartum plan (including things that we had not even thought of), and was a huge help with breastfeeding and latching problems that we were having. In addition to all of that, she was a great support when I started experiencing some postpartum depression. She was very encouraging and had a lot of knowledge about it! We are so thankful that we had her to guide us in our perinatal period!"
