Postpartum Doula Services
A postpartum doula is a lot like a birth doula in that we see to your physical, emotional, and educational needs. But instead of helping you with birth, I help you adjust to life with a new baby. Many other cultures recognize the importance of supporting a new mother after she gives birth. She is often surrounded by generations of women - her mother, grandmother, aunts, female cousins, and sisters - who see to all her needs so she can focus solely on bonding with her baby. Unfortunately, our culture doesn't quite have the same standards of support yet. I am passionate about maternal mental health and helping new moms feel cared for and supported during those crucial weeks after baby is born. I will help with a variety of things including breastfeeding support, newborn care, meal preparation, light housework, running errands, caring for older children, or even holding the baby while you nap or shower. I want you to feel supported, not overwhelmed, during this time of transition and adjustment. Contact me today so we can discuss how I can help!
