Postpartum Doula Support
Relax, Rest, Heal
Let me take care of the rest
What is a postpartum doula and why should you hire me?
A postpartum doula provides families with information and unbiased support relating to infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, coping skills for new parents, and so much more. A postpartum doula will also help with light housework (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, pet care), meal preparation, assistance with incorporating an older child into this new experience, and tending to the older sibling(s) while parents focus on their new baby. The postpartum doula will also tend to the newborn so parents can shower, eat, sleep, and spend time with the older sibling.
​
As your postpartum doula, I can be the first line of care you receive after bringing baby home. I will be able to assist with feeding questions, latch issues, poop concerns and postpartum healing. It is common for the new parent to not see another professional until their six week postpartum follow-up, so having a postpartum doula in your home before then, can help tremendously. If you have questions from blood loss to sleep, I will be able to assist and guide you with that. I can also refer you to other qualified professionals for concerns beyond my scope of practice and knowledge. One of the most important things a new parent forgets, is that self care is vital to healing. Food preparation so you don't have to cook and reminders to drink, shower or go for a walk while I tend to baby can be not only freeing, but healing and necessary.
​
Simply put, you deserve to be cared for in your postpartum. I want to help!
