Mother Nurture was conceived by Cerise Bouchard in 2006. Cerise was inspired by her own pregnancy, birth and parenting to open a shop to provide parenting resources that were lacking in Lexington at the time. By connecting with other Moms, she learned that many others shared her frustrations over the lack of resources and knowledge about breastfeeding, cloth diapering, babywearing and healthier alternatives. Cerise graduated from Transylvania University in 2001 with a BA in Sociology and Anthropology with a focus on women’s issues as they relate to Mothering. She worked with preschool families for 5 years before opening Mother Nurture. In 2007, Cerise became certified as a Lactation Counselor and expanded the breastfeeding support services at Mother Nurture.

Cerise is married to Craig Caudill and they have two children, Garrett (2005) and Remy (2008). Both children were breastfed, cloth diapered and worn in various baby carriers by both parents.
