Postpartum Doula Support
As a postpartum doula, I support families during the first 12 weeks after welcoming their new baby/babies. I recognize and honor the early postpartum period as an extension of pregnancy, labor and birth, also called the fourth trimester. This is a very special and sacred period of time, in which the new mother - YOU - deserves to rest, to heal and to get to know and bond with your baby.
I am here to guide, nurture and empower you and your partner, as you confidently grow and thrive in your new roles as parents; and to make this transition into your new family dynamic as smooth and relaxing as possible.​​​​​
During our time together I will provide you and your partner with Newborn Care tips and tricks and feeding support, no matter if you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding or a combination of both.
We will talk about your birth story and ways to support healing your body after birth. We will discuss how you and your partner envision the perfect postpartum support during the first weeks after welcoming your new baby earthside, and I will help you create your personal Postpartum Plan that fits the needs and desires of your family.
I deeply believe in prioritizing rest, hydration and nourishing foods, in the fourth trimester, to support the healing and recovery journey after birth in a positive way.
My support will look different for each family and what I do each day will change according to your specific needs.
In addition all of my Postpartum Packages include:
-
one postpartum planning visit prior to the arrival of your baby, if possible (in-person or virtual)
-
self-care support (taking a relaxing herbal infused bath/sitzbath or shower, and/or restful nap while I care for your baby)
-
a warm and nutritious postpartum meal and snack prepared in your home
-
introduction to gentle movements that support the healing and recovery - all from the comfort of your bed :)
-
light household chores
-
sibling bonding, if you have other children.

and lots of time for you and your partner to rest and bond with your baby as a family.
