Postpartum counseling.
In what way(s) has BIH been helpful? What aspects of the program do you enjoy?
I thoroughly enjoy “Ask-a-Pediatrician”, as it allows me to ask questions from someone who understands my point of view and is helpful in my naturalistic journey for my son.
Is there something you look forward to or enjoy doing during the holiday season? Or is there a tradition you have in your family?
As a military family, it can make it quite hard to have a tradition, so togetherness is key for me. I love the cheer of Christmas and there is nothing more important to me than seeing my family surrounded by love and happy holiday spirits.
What are you looking forward to the most in 2024 for yourself and family?
Watching my family progress personally and professionally.
