Postpartum Doula Services
As a postpartum doula, my role is to ease the transition to life with a new baby.

Families benefit from the compassionate, non-judgmental support and evidence based information they receive.

- Normalizing of newborn behavior.
- Diapering, soothing and bathing techniques.
- Breast, bottle or combination feeding support.
- Supporting birthing person's need for rest, nourishment and recovery
- Newborn care while the parent(s) sleep.
- Emotional support.
- Knowledge of normal postpartum recovery (from vaginal or cesarean birth).
- Light housekeeping
- Meal preparation.
- Supporting the sibling(s) while they adjust to the change.
- Referrals to community resources.
- Attending appointments / running errands with parents as a helper
