Hi, I’m Esther beard!
I gave birth for the first time nearly 16 years ago. It changed my life forever and sparked in me a desire to support women through the transformational journey into motherhood. Ten years ago I began supporting friends in their births, and I read books on birth just for fun! I decided that maybe I wanted to do this for more than just a hobby. I decided to become a prenatal yoga teacher as a way to support women and families. Shortly after I became a prenatal yoga teacher, I moved forward with my doula training through DONA. In 2022 I began the path to become a lactation consultant (IBCLC), and in the spring of 2025 I passed my board exam!
Through prenatal yoga, I guide women in connecting with their bodies, building strength and flexibility and preparing for childbirth. As a lactation consultant, I offer compassionate support and evidence-based guidance to help mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals. And as a doula, I provide emotional, physical, and informational support throughout the perinatal period. My passion is to empower women to embrace their innate strength and navigate the challenges and joys of motherhood with confidence and grace.
Often you can find me running my four kids to their activities or on a walk with my husband. My favorite pastime is reading a book in my hammock.
“I am passionate about offering women the knowledge to make informed decisions on the wonderful and wild journey of birth, Breastfeeding and motherhood. ”
