Chande’ Outen, RN
Congratulations and thank you for visiting my site! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a Registered Nurse with over 5 years’ experience in women’s health. My passion is postpartum, which is the time right after you deliver and helping families transition into their new roles. As a mother of two young boys, I understand the challenges that come with becoming new parents. These are a few of the reasons, that motivated me to create Gentle Beginnings. I want to be the support and village that new parents need beyond the first few days at the hospital. I want to be your village!
My mission and goal are to see parents gain confidence and enhance their loving bond between themselves and their new baby. Gentle Beginnings strives to create an environment that is safe, educational, and supportive for all races, religions, and lifestyles.
Gentle Beginnings is the village you never knew you needed. Let me guide you and your growing family during this incredible transition.

Chande’ was so patient with us, she never made us feel rushed when we has questions about nursing our newborn. Even though, we worked with Chande’ in the hospital setting we would love to have her as our postpartum nurse in the home.

Chande’ is very kind and has a way with our baby. We can tell that this is her life’s work. I am so excited that she is going into business for herself and striving to help families in a more personal setting.
