Postpartum care is essential.

Postpartum doulas strive to provide compassionate and nonjudgmental, emotional support. They are trained to offer trauma-informed care, and understand that this is a delicate time. Doulas offer a listening ear, validation of feelings, and encouragement; which can significantly reduce the risk of postpartum mood disorders and help parents navigate the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies the postpartum period.

Physical recovery following childbirth can be intense and overwhelming. When hiring a postpartum doula, you are giving yourself peace of mind knowing your doula will support you every step of the way. Postpartum Doulas help navigate the unique recovery journey of every client. They are available to offer evidence-based resources and discuss common comfort measures.

Doulas are NOT medically trained, and do NOT offer medical advice or answer medical questions. Please refer to your OB/Midwife or Pediatrician for all healthcare related needs.

Postpartum doulas offers personalized newborn care education, empowering parents with the knowledge and confidence to care for their new baby. They provide guidance on feeding, soothing techniques, and general newborn care, which fosters parental competence and enhances the bonding experience.

Postpartum Doulas understand that what/how you decide to feed your baby is a deeply personal and often sensitive decision. Your postpartum doula is committed to supporting your choices, and helping you feel confident. Doulas are there to offer you support, education, and resources to help you feel confident and encouraged along this new journey.

Unique challenges arise when welcoming a new baby into a family with older siblings. Oftentimes, parents find it challenging to balance the needs of their newborn with those of their older children. That's where sibling care support from a postpartum doula can make a significant difference. We are here to support and involve the older siblings to help them feel included during this transition.

The practical help provided by a postpartum doula can alleviate the stress of daily tasks, allowing parents to focus on rest and bonding with their newborn. Whether it's light housekeeping, meal preparation, or running errands, the doula's support ensures that the household runs smoothly during this demanding time.

Postpartum doula care positively impacts the partner's involvement and support.

Postpartum Doulas are here to support both you and your partner as you navigate the world of parenthood.

Postpartum Doulas are passionate about educating new parents, and providing them with the knowledge they need to feel confident and prepared. Additionally, they can provide referrals to relevant community resources, such as lactation consultants, support groups, and mental health professionals, further enhancing the family's support network.
 In essence, investing in a postpartum doula means investing in comprehensive, personalized support that nurtures the physical, emotional, and practical needs of the new family.
