Meet Jannelle — Your Postpartum & Newborn Care Specialist
Born and raised in New York City with vibrant Caribbean roots, I’ve learned the beauty of community, culture, and caring for one another. My journey brought me through eleven years in the U.S. Army after graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point—and those years taught me about resilience, service, and the importance of healing when the body is taxed.
Becoming a mother of two with very different birthing experiences made me realize how under-supported we often are in the early postpartum weeks. I experienced some unexpected challenges postpartum, and it was then I saw how essential postpartum care is.
My mission: provide postpartum recovery support and newborn care so you can rest, heal, and grow confidently into the next chapter of your family’s story.
