Dr. Sharifa Glass is a pediatrician, lactation consultant, media expert, and corporate consultant.

POSTPARTUM DOULA TRAINING
A postpartum doula assists mother once her baby has been born. She educates mother on womb and cesarean healing, nursing and feeding, baby cues, baby care, and self-care. She ensures the new mother doesn’t over-exert herself and often takes on household tasks – including baby care, mother care, and healthy meal preparation – to ensure that mother heals well physically and emotionally. She is also an advocate for mom and is often one of the first people to pick up on signs of postpartum depression or Baby Blues.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Past Clients
"It was easy the way she set everything up for me to learn how to cook new foods, learn how to get all of my nutrients, learn how to pair different foods with certain foods, and just make it easy for me to stay on my meal prep. My favorite part is how I feel - I feel energized, I feel happy, I don't feel hungry, I don't feel like my cravings are kicking in like they normally do."
