In December of 2021, Spruce introduced a Facebook campaign to get to know customers a bit better. Amey Fields with Az Breastfed Babies<\/a> was one of the first to share her story with us to help us better understand her business and how the team uses Spruce to thrive.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/b>What kind of work do you do?
<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\n

I am an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a labor and delivery nurse with over 20 years of experience helping moms and babies with breastfeeding.<\/p>\r\n

I have three children and each one of my birth experiences have been very different and each one has shaped me to be the nurse I am today. I have experienced a natural birth with a midwife, a hospital birth with an OB, and a Cesarean birth for a persistent breech baby!<\/p>\r\n

I started working as a labor and delivery nurse in 1998 and in 2010 I was given the opportunity to run the community education department at the hospital I was working at. I became Lamaze certified and began teaching childbirth and newborn care classes to expectant parents. In addition to working as a labor nurse in the hospital setting, I have also assisted with home births and spent 2 years working at a free-standing birth center. In 2011 I started a wonderful postpartum support group called Circle of Mothers that I still offer as a free weekly group today.<\/p>\r\n

My main focus is helping moms and babies with breastfeeding and so I opened a private practice in 2014 and I have a team of 7 RN\/IBCLCs that do virtual and in-person lactation consults to help moms and babies with breastfeeding, pumping and back to work consults.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/b>What first brought you to Spruce?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\n

I needed a business number, fax and wanted to do telehealth appointments.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/b>How do you use Spruce at work?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\n

Spruce is truly the hub of my business. It is how my team and I communicate with each other, our clients and other healthcare providers.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/b>What is your favorite Spruce feature?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\n

My favorite Spruce feature is the ability to tag team members and to communicate internally for collaboration.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/b>What do you like to do most when you’re not working?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\n

When not working, I love playing with my 3 year old granddaughter.<\/p>\r\n
