Meet Your Instructor, Krystal Long, Certified Lactation Consultant, Birth Doula, and Childbirth Educator:
Hello, I’m Krystal!
I am the mother of 5 little ones, and currently reside in the Lake Tahoe & Carson Valley area. I love to be outdoors and am generally up for anything I can do with a coffee in hand!
Each of my births and breastfeeding journeys were transformative experiences, and have inspired my path both personally and professionally. Over the last 14 years I have nourished a deep passion for supporting new & growing families on their journey; honoring pregnancy and birth as not just a means to an end, but as a rite of passage, a powerful and beautiful journey full of love, connection and self discovery.
I believe that labor and birth can be experienced in mindful awareness & preparation happens in your heart and soul, not solely in your head.
As a Mentor, Doula & Lactation Consultant, I honor YOUR unique journey. My role through education and support, is to help you discover your own innate power, to cultivate your confidence, and nurture your ability to handle whatever comes your way.
I am dedicated to helping you have the most satisfying and empowering experience as possible as you bring your baby (or babies!) earthside and feed them with love.
I am truly grateful for every family that invites me to support them and witness them grow. Should you invite me to be a part of your story, it would be an honor and a privilege to serve you.
What Others Have to Say:
"The classes were comfortable, well structured and gave me great peace at a time I was very nervous about childbirth."
Angie L., NV - first time mom
"I cannot recommend Krystal enough. As a second time mom planning a VBAC, I was very anxious and stressed about my birth. Krystal's classes helped me work through all the negative talk in my head, calm my nerves and feel in control. I felt confident going into labor even if I had another cesarean (I didn't!) and my husband knew exactly how to support me through it all!"
Kim S, NV - VBAC Mom
"The class was wonderful. I learned so much and I feel like it really helped my husband and I bond and prepare together. I feel confident, hopeful and peaceful waiting for my labor to start."
Amanda G, CA - First-Time Mom
