Lindie Gibbs is a certified Newborn Care Specialist with a passion for supporting families during the “fourth trimester,” the transformative first 12 weeks after birth. As a mother of five, she intimately understands the exhaustion and anxiety of sleepless nights and has dedicated her career to helping parents navigate this precious yet challenging phase.

Lindie specializes in assisting first-time parents as well as families transitioning to life with a new sibling.
