WHY HIRE A POSTPARTUM DOULA?

Our postpartum doulas walk with you during the recovery from birth and adjustment to parenthood and makes sure the parent’s, baby’s, and needs in the home are met. A postpartum doula helps provide parents with the knowledge and confidence to believe in their parenting abilities after she leaves. We can also help with emotional recovery and any emotional adjustment to motherhood/parenthood, answer any questions and provide education about newborn care, sibling adjustment, or breastfeeding issues.

During the day, I work directly in your home and assist with breastfeeding/bottle feeding, education, infant care, mother's recovery care, meal prep, light house cleaning, sibling care, baby wearing, baby massage tutorials, running errands, bringing you coffee, and more! I spend a lot of time listening to new moms (and partners!) who need a nonjudgmental and non-medical ear. Having a professional to process birth, hormone and body changes, fears, and postpartum transition can make a big difference in those first months.

I am not currently offering overnight support but can gladly refer you to other wonderful overnight doulas in the area upon request!
