Jade has spent the past 10 years dedicated to building better support for families in East Tennessee. Since 2021, she has worked closely with postpartum individuals as a lactation consultant in the community and witnessed how difficult it was for her patients to find a provider who cared deeply for them.

Her deepest belief is that people have a natural intuition about their bodies; encouraging them to connect with this voice inside is the key to health and healing.
