Who are we?
We are a dynamic resource for families both prenatally and after birth! |
Owner- Jamee Diver, BA, IBCLC
Jamee Diver's focus on women and families health grew from the seed planted during her degree in psychology from UC in 2003, and blossomed after the births of her daughter in 2008 and her homebirthed son in 2011. Attachment parenting and breastfeeding became two natural branches of this focus on gentle, respectful support and wellness, and Jamee became active in the greater Cincinnati community gaining a name for herself through grassroots work with La Leche League, classes on babywearing and cloth diapering through Cincinnati's premier natural general store Park + Vine, and as a generative force behind the local homebirth circle. Jamee brings her fresh passions that focus on lactation as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant to the Cincinnati/Dayton community through Roots Wellness in Mason. As a, Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula, Child Passenger Safety Technician and Hypnobirthing instructror, she continues to help families advocate for themselves and their children.
