As a postpartum doula, I help mothers and families adjust to daily life with a baby. I will care for you and your family during the postpartum period in a way that is tailored to your needs and personality, giving you evidence-based information along the way and helping you find your parenting style without any bias or judgement. By hiring a postpartum doula, you can relax in your new home, knowing that you have practical and emotional support and company, without the pressure to entertain. Some of the practical skills that I can help you with include:

 

Evidence based breastfeeding support

 

 

 

Maternal postnatal care

 

 

 

Newborn care and education

 

 

 

Meal preparation

 

 

 

Light Housekeeping and sibling care

 

 

 

Screening for postpartum mood disorders

 

 

 

Additional resources and referrals in your community

 

Additionally, I can help you navigate topics such as co-sleeping, baby-wearing, and techniques to soothe your baby. Many mothers take comfort knowing they can leave their baby in the hands of a trusted professional while they shower and take a nap. 

 

Bringing your new baby home can be overwhelming, demanding, and exhausting. Having a postpartum doula by your side to compassionately help you through this life-changing transition can positively influence your bonding experience with your child, how you perceive yourself as a mother, and your memory of your postpartum period for the rest of your life.
