Becoming a parent is life changing. It can feel blissful, terrifying, easy, hard, rewarding, and challenging all at the same time. So much has changed, there’s so many questions, so many emotions, let’s talk about it! Our new parent support groups are facilitated by trained doulas who help guide the transition into the new role of parenthood. Here we share our stories, ask hard questions, reminisce about the joys, and maybe (probably) cry a little. Find your tribe with us, all are welcome.

This week, we are joined by Marcella DeRosa, owner of Born With Love and Sleep. Marcella is a busy mom with 4 children, ages 13, 11, 9 and 5. Health and wellness are a big part of her life in caring for her family and clients alike! Birthing and parenting her own children has ignited a passion for preparing expectant and new parents for both their birth and parenting journeys. Along her own parenting journey, she became overtaken by the pressures of our society on parents but new mothers specifically, the recommendations and opinions from everywhere can be overwhelming! Thankfully along the way, she was able to let go of the standards and expectations our culture puts on young families and move forward, following her own instincts! she quickly realized that it's not children who need to be trained, but parents who need to be taught that it's okay to listen to their heart and instincts. Marcella is passionate about guiding new families on their journey from birth, into the postpartum and beyond!
Her goal is for families she works with to become better informed, knowledgeable and empowered to follow their own innate inner voice. her approach as a baby-led sleep coach is to always have the parent-child relationship at the heart of her work with families. this attachment based care and guidance will help facilitate sleep challenges to fall into place. she strives to help pregnant people and new parents find their inner voice telling them what works best for them and their family and empower them to listen to it!
