Who she helps

Most people call her on one of three days.

Feeding isn’t working, and it’s today’s problem.

A painful latch, a baby who won’t settle at the breast, a supply that dropped without warning. Doreen comes to your house and works on it with you.

You want to be ready before the baby comes.

A prenatal session covers what actually helps in the first two weeks — and what to do at 3am when it isn’t going the way anyone told you it would.

Your family is marking something that matters.

A birth, a coming of age, a recovery, a goodbye. Doreen writes and holds ceremonies for the passages that deserve more than a card.

About

Doreen L. Conner, RN, BSN, IBCLC

“As a Registered Nurse, I promote health and well-being using Integrative Imagery and Healing Touch to help empower adults, adolescents and children in learning about themselves and the connection between the body, mind and spirit. It is my belief that we have a wealth of information, from within, to help us on our road to health, well-being and happiness.”

As a Lactation Consultant, she supports and assists breastfeeding mothers — because breastfeeding is a gift only a mother can give her baby, and nobody should have to figure it out alone at three in the morning.

Blessings & ceremonies

For the passages that deserve more than a card.

Each ceremony is written with you, for your family, and held by someone who has spent a career at the beginnings and endings of people’s lives.

    A ceremony that welcomes your child into the circle of your family and friends.

Questions

Before you call

Do you take insurance?
No. Nursing and Beyond is a private practice and does not bill insurance. Fees are flat and quoted before your visit, so there is no claim to file and nothing unexpected afterward. You are welcome to submit a receipt to your plan or HSA.
Where do visits happen?
In-home and virtual visits — Doreen comes to your home anywhere in the East Valley, or meets you by video if that is easier with a newborn in the house.
How soon can you come?
Call or text and Doreen will tell you honestly. Feeding problems are treated as time-sensitive.
What does IBCLC mean?
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant — the highest credential in lactation care, requiring clinical hours, coursework, and a board examination. Doreen is also a Registered Nurse with a BSN.
Do you work with babies who have medical needs?
Yes. Premature babies, twins and triplets, and infants in special medical situations are all within her practice.

Call Doreen.

In-home and virtual visits across the East Valley. If it is a feeding problem, say so when you call — those come first.
