Background
Lexi specializes in giving parents peace of mind prenatally through early childhood: from baby gear to feeding plans and everything in between, consider her your perinatal handyma’am who will help you find the right fit for your family. Her naturally-nurturing personality and a degree in early childhood development led to a 12-year career as a nanny. She then expanded her expertise by feeding her educational curiosities in the realm of birth work with numerous trainings and certifications (listed below). She most recently completed her training in craniosacral therapy through the Upledger Institute, and is a mentee at a local Pediatric Occupational Therapy clinic where she is learning how to better support feeding dyads through bodywork.
Lexi focuses on values and relationships (inter-dependence) rather than commercialism, particularly during vulnerable life stages. She is most passionate about mutual aid, community care, and fighting for reproductive and social justice, particularly in the queer community. Outside of snuggling babies, she enjoys exploring parks around Cleveland, sending snail mail, and visiting her sister’s dogs and hens, (aka “The Ladies”).
