Meet Allison, APPA
Allison holds a BS in Elementary Education. She was raised in Cobb, went to college at KSU, and taught in Cobb County elementary schools before becoming a stay at home mom. She has been with her husband for 18 years and they have five children together- four boys (including a set of twins) and one girl. They are also licensed foster parents.
She has unofficially been in the birthing community for many years providing Doula and postpartum services, newborn care, and breastfeeding support to friends and family.
