Mother Nurture Doula Services

Mother Nurture Doula Services DONA certified Doula providing women and their partners with the support they need in order to have the birth & postpartum experience they envision

Chatham-Kent Birth Services offers Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula services. A doula is a certified professional experienced in childbirth who provides women and partners with continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after the birth of your baby. We are able to support you if you are low risk or high risk, using a midwife or doctor, planning a homebirth or hospital birth. Doulas work with clients who want to avoid medications, as well as those clients who are planning to use medications. Chatham-Kent Birth Services founder, Emily Hime, is a DONA International Certified Doula who offers support before, during, and after birth allowing women and their partners to experience the birth & postpartum periods they envision for themselves. Studies show that Doula's:
- reduce the rate of medicated births
-reduce the rate of medical interventions (such as C-sections, episiotomies, use of forceps, induction)
-reduce the risk of tearing
-shorten the length of labour
-reduce the risk of postpartum depression
-increase the success of breastfeeding
- Increase overall satisfaction with birth

Doulas not only support mothers, but also partners and other family members involved in the birth. "If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it" - Dr John H Kennell

🌿 Exciting News! 🌿

I’m thrilled to share that I am now officially certified as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)! 💚

Becoming an IBCLC is no small feat—it requires rigorous education, clinical experience, and passing a comprehensive international board exam. This certification is the gold standard in lactation support and allows me to provide expert guidance to families navigating infant feeding and breastfeeding challenges.

After months of intensive study, thousands of hours supporting parents and babies, and deepening my understanding of infant development, I’m so proud to bring this new level of care to my community.

Starting this fall, I’ll be offering private lactation appointments right here in my chiropractic practice—blending my passion for perinatal and pediatric care with evidence-based lactation support. Whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, or working through feeding challenges, I'm here to help you feel supported, empowered, and informed.

Stay tuned for details on how to book appointments. And thank you, as always, for trusting me with your care 💛

Skin to skin has so many benefits, not just for baby but for you too 🤍
1. Temperature Regulation. Skin to skin will keep baby warmer than if they were swaddled in an incubator. You are a thermoregulator and your body will heat and cool depending on what baby needs.
2. Normalizes baby’s blood sugar.
3. Keeping baby skin to skin will help with breastfeeding. It releases oxytocin and prolactin, which are important hormones for lactation.
4. Colonizes baby’s gut flora and exposes them to the bacteria that you are bringing to the mix and that they will ultimately be exposed to when you take them home. Plus, if baby has any bacteria on them that could make them sick, you will also be exposed to it and immediately begin to make antibodies to pass on to baby via breastfeeding.
5. Stabilizes baby’s breathing and heart rate. While baby is in your womb their heart rate is in the 120’s to 150’s+ But when they are born their heart rate slows down and studies have shown that baby’s heart rate will synchronize with their parent after an hour or more of skin to skin. So that’s cool!!
6. Helps baby gain weight. We are always worried about baby’s weight especially in the first couple of weeks. But because skin to skin can help with breastfeeding and keeping baby calm, these contribute to baby putting on that weight they would have lost in the first day or so after birth.
7. Skin to skin also helps lower the risk of postpartum mood disorders in the birth parent. The release of oxytocin and bonding with baby will help stabilize your mood and oxytocin is the love hormone!

So soak up those snuggles mama 🥰
