Postpartum Doula
As a postpartum doula my job is to nurture the entire family as they transition into life with a new baby. This would include doing things to help mom and dad feel more confident in their roles, sharing education on family adjustment, and tending to the unique needs of a new mother. I strongly feel that my role as a postpartum doula is to work myself out of a job. My goal is to ensure that parents are confident in their skills and abilities by the time I end care with them.
I have specialized training in the postpartum period including training in lactation, newborn care, care for multiples, newborn sleep, functional nutrition, and maternal mental health.
Some of the duties that I may perform include:

Because no two families’ postpartum needs are exactly alike, hours can vary greatly from client to client. Ultimately it is the needs of the family that will determine what type of postpartum care is needed and for how long, and I will adapt both the type and amount of services I provide to meet your unique postpartum needs.
