I am so excited to meet you and your family. Kind Ma MD combines many of my passions- being a pediatrician and IBCLC, being a mom, and spreading kindness! I’ve been brainstorming ways to make an impact, and I hope that this will be one of the ways I can fill a greatly needed gap for all of you.
When I had my first son, I realized there is so much medical school and residency did not teach me. I worried about too many things in the middle of the night! I was blown away by how much misinformation is on the internet and was grateful for what I already knew. This pushed me to pursue higher breastfeeding education. I also became fascinated with gentle parenting and with the additional goal to support others in their gentle parenting journeys.
With welcoming a second son into our mix, I realized gentle parenting needed an additional dimension; kindness to ourselves and the importance of self-care. I felt the huge gaps in postpartum care despite having the most amazing doctors take care of my family and am determined to make this adventure easier and more joyful for all of you.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my insights with you!
With kindness,
Dr. Insiyah
