Specialties
I have spent the last 20+ years serving my country as SFC Baylis in the MS Army National Guard. I breastfed both my children while serving and I am still breastfeeding my 2 yr old daughter. My son, who's 4 yrs old now, breastfed for 18 months and it would've been longer had it not been for me having to work three hours from home. I became a Lactation Education Counselor back in 2021 and never had the chance to fully pursue my dream while still serving. Now that my time in the service is coming to a close, I have the chance to embark on the training to become a Doula as well. Completing the Doula workshop in April of 2022 and awaiting my certification, has shown me that their work transcends the birthing process. It involves what I've done for almost my entire military career for my soldiers, mentoring, counseling, educating, and just being that voice of MOTIVATION when someone has given up hope or utters the words, I can't. I hope to uplift all the parents that I come into contact with and always encourage them on their INDIVIDUAL journeys..
