Provider Spotlight: Abundant Life Chiropractic
With being a doula now for a few years, many of our early clients are coming back because they are pregnant with their second babies. And those clients hold a very special place in my heart for sure! And I hope we do for them as well. Sometimes, those extra special clients, will even connect us to providers that that love, and well that is just great!
Provider Spotlight: Sara Skinner, LCSW
Working in maternal health is a field that requires an equal amount of passion and drive, but also a personal connection to this time period is often what ignites this passion. Various providers have different paths to this connection whether it is through their experience, a friend or family member’s experience, or just a really inspiring book! I love learning about people’s why as it makes them much more human to me. And in the age of Zoom calls, telehealth, and texting, remembering we are all human is key.
Sara Skinner, LCSW, is no different. She and I actually have known of each since early 2018, we did not officially meet until mid 2019 and then we did not professional connect until just recently. We immediately bonded and talked about all the things related to motherhood, mental health, and of course our mutual love of pit bulls.

Provider Spotlight: Miranda Ripalda, Financial Advisor | Edward Jones
Having hard conversations is part of being a parent, and for many that means talking about money.
