Jackie Kelleher has supported families as a community leader, birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and lactation professional for more than 20 years. She is the author of Nurturing the Family, the second edition of which will be available this fall. She draws upon lessons learned from the thousands of families she’s helped and doulas she has trained. Her focus on boundaries, self-worth, and advocacy are also fed by her work as a self-defense and martial arts instructor.
