Postpartum Doula Services

Childbirth is unpredictable and can be challenging in the early days.

I believe supporting families in the time postpartum is not only beneficial for mothers but also their partners and other family members. Allowing your body time to heal and adjusting to your new role as a mother can be emotionally and physically demanding. The care I provide is unique to you and your preferences.

Postpartum Doulas DO NOT:

A doula is not a medical professional and will not perform clinical tasks. A doula cannot treat or diagnose specific medical conditions or concerns for mother or baby. A doula does not make decisions on your behalf. We will provide you with the information and community resources necessary to help you and your partner make informed decisions.
