Oh hey there, welcome! I’m Betsy, a registered nurse of more than 25 years, Certified Lactation Consultant (CLC), mother of three (now grown) children, and devoted lover of sunshine and leisurely coffee chats.

Why “The Rested Trimester”?

I became a mama at a very young age, and it was the care and nurturing I received as a new mother in the hospital that shaped the course of my life. In that moment, I knew I wanted to offer the same attention and support to other women as they navigate the profound transition into motherhood.

That calling led me to a career largely spent caring for women through pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. I have cared for mothers and babies together, both in the hospital and in their own homes through a postpartum visitation program. Again and again, I found myself wishing for more time: more time to listen, to dig deeper into each family’s needs, and to offer the kind of unhurried and individualized support every new mother deserves.

The Rested Trimester was born from that wish. Here, I can slow down and give each family the time, presence, and care that the fourth trimester calls for, so you can rest, heal, and settle into your new chapter with confidence.
