Birth is about making mothers too. Nurturing mothers so they can nurture. Nourishing mothers so they can nourish. Loving mothers so they can fall in love all over again.

Postpartum Doula

I am often honest with birth clients that one of the main reasons we care about positive birth experiences is because that is the beginning of a family, that is the beginning of postpartum and that is the beginning of motherhood, that is the beginning of a new woman who will walk forward forever changed from the woman she was before. Postpartum, this transformation to new womanhood and the beginning of family life, deserves to be supported.

As a mother I know how valuable it is to have a helping hand once a baby makes his/her entrance into family life. A postpartum doula helps parents transition to family life, helping with what needs to be done for mothers and parents to focus on caring for baby. As a postpartum doula, my focus is on the family unit not solely on the baby. In addition to my postpartum training, I have 3 years of nanny experience including newborn care. I can provide hands on support in your home as you practice the skills of parenting.

My ideal supportive scenario for every family would involve first week of life in bed, second week of life in home and third week of life we invite the world back into the picture. Efforts of postpartum services are focused on keeping the family well bonded, well nourished and well rested.
