Education & Guidance
Private, on-demand guidance for new parents. Offering calm clarity, expert insight, and reassurance when it matters most.
Parenthood brings questions that don’t always fit neatly into a pediatrician visit or wait for the next appointment. These services offer calm, experienced guidance during moments of transition, uncertainty, or exhaustion, when online advice feels overwhelming, conflicting, or hard to personalize.
Parent Consults
Private 60-minute consultations begin with a scheduled call, offering personalized guidance tailored to your baby and family. These one-on-one sessions support real-time questions across infant care, development, feeding, sleep, and early transitions, with thoughtful, practical problem-solving based on your baby’s individual needs. Consultations are conducted by phone or video and are ideal for parents seeking clarity, expert reassurance, and refined guidance, without committing to ongoing support.
Your Baby Hotline
24/7 Messaging Support
Your Baby Hotline provides ongoing access to thoughtful, private support when questions arise. Designed for quick reassurance and gentle guidance, it supports parents through developmental questions, feeding or sleep concerns, and everyday decisions, without the formality of a scheduled consultation. Support is provided via Voxer, allowing for convenient, ongoing communication between consults.

CLIENT LOVE
“Marisa is impeccably professional — She was an invaluable resource in helping us nurture our daughter from the newborn weeks through her first birthday. She has a great intuitive sense from the basics through the major milestones of teething and weening. Marisa was highly flexible with our lifestyle, which included many last-minute trips and extended overnight stays. She was a genuine pleasure to have around!”
