what is a postpartum doula?
The role of a postpartum doula is to provide holistic support to new parents during the early weeks and months of parenthood, promoting confidence, well-being, and a smooth transition to life with a newborn. A postpartum doula provides physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals and families in the weeks following childbirth. Their role is multifaceted and tailored to the unique needs of each family.
why hire a postpartum doula?
Postpartum doulas offer reassurance, validation, and a listening ear during the challenging postpartum period. They provide emotional support to help new parents navigate the emotional highs and lows that often accompany the transition to parenthood.
Doulas assist with newborn care, including feeding support (breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or pumping), diapering, bathing, and soothing techniques. They may also help with light household tasks such as, laundry, and tidying up, allowing parents to focus on bonding with their baby and recovering from childbirth.
Doulas provide evidence-based information and resources on infant care, postpartum recovery, and newborn development. They offer guidance on topics such as feeding, sleep, babywearing, and adjusting to parenthood, empowering parents to make informed decisions that align with their values and preferences.
Postpartum doulas support parents in their physical recovery from childbirth by providing gentle encouragement for self-care practices, such as rest, hydration, nutrition, and gentle movement. They create a nurturing environment that promotes healing and well-being for the entire family

my postpartum packages
As a postpartum doula, my role is to provide you with comprehensive non-medical support to ease the transition after the birth of your baby. I am dedicated to nurturing you physically, emotionally, and informatively during this transformative time as you welcome a new member into your family. Each visit is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that you receive personalized care and assistance that aligns with your preferences and circumstances. You can choose from a variety of postpartum care packages based on the number of hours you need.
Our journey begins during your prenatal period, where we will collaborate to create a customized postpartum plan that meets your individual needs and goals. Whether you require lactation and baby feeding support, guidance on healing your body and mind, assistance with newborn care and baby wearing, or help with light cleaning and household tasks, I am here to provide compassionate and skilled support every step of the way.
My postpartum package includes two prenatal visits, each lasting one hour, where we will discuss your expectations, concerns, and preferences in detail. Throughout our time together, I will offer unwavering support to both you and your partner, as well as provide sibling support if needed. Additionally, I will serve as a valuable resource, offering practical guidance, emotional reassurance, and a safe space for any feelings that may arise. Whether it's holding your baby while you rest, eat, or take a shower, or simply providing a listening ear, I am committed to ensuring that you feel supported, empowered, and nurtured as you embark on this beautiful journey of parenthood.
