Blessed Nest

Donna and Heather have been friends for so many years; Heather can hardly remember a time that she didn't know her. There is something really special about the people in your life whose love endures the seasons of many years, and I know I would be a very different woman without her strength, inspiration and friendship.

The story of Blessed Nest began just after Donna gave birth to her first daughter. She was so determined to breastfeed, but with the combination of a very active and distracted baby, a painful cesarean incision and feeling as if her own body was working against her, she just couldn't find the physical support she needed. Stacks of pillows wouldn't stay in place, one of the popular nursing pillows on the market had to be strapped on (leaving her feeling even more awkward!), and the other one wouldn't fit around her without causing more problems than it solved. All of those pillows had in common that they made her feel uncomfortable and frustrated rather than like the confident, nurturing mom we both knew she was.

Heather wasn't a "nursing pillow designer", but she could hear what Donna needed from the perspective of a friend and a woman. Heather was then able to draw from her skills and experience in fashion and interior design, as a seamstress and a tenacious researcher to come up with a solution that is as beautiful as it is functional.

Donna knew from her 15+ pre-mom years in the Children's Clothing Industry how to help Heather share the Nesting Pillow with the world! Since then, she and some other amazing people have given Heather the support she's needed to build Blessed Nest into what it is today.

Blessed Nest nurtures moms so YOU can nurture your babies with peace of mind!
