Embracing Motherhood Postpartum Services, LLC

private duty postpartum nurse and lactation consultant

Motherhood- How quickly your life changes as you take on this new role, yet how quickly you’re expected to get back to who you were before pregnancy.

I’ve got good news. She’s not coming back. Here is permission to let go of who you once were and embrace the new woman you are. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth baby, you may get home from the hospital and feel like a deer in headlights. “Isn’t there supposed to be some sort of instinct?” you may ask. It’s normal to have an unending list of questions as you learn to trust those instincts.

At Embracing Motherhood we believe that you are the perfect mother for your baby, and we want you to believe it too.

Hey there. I am Amber Hicks. I have been a postpartum nurse for 13 of my 15 year nursing career. Once I entered the postpartum world it didn’t take long for me to realise this is my passion. There is nothing so beautiful as seeing the wonder on a woman’s face as she gets aquainted with her newborn. When I realized how much I love the sound of mama’s deep relief exhale as she and baby figure out nursing, I knew I had to learn more. I became and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) so that I could better assist mom and baby in feeding.
