💖 Postpartum Support 💖
Having support postpartum is a must. As your postpartum doula I am there to help you with whatever you need whether that’s meals made, snacks prepped, groceries picked up, laundry done, helping sooth baby, giving breastfeeding support, watching other kiddos while you and baby have a nap. I’m there to support you and your new family!
In India they have what they call is Ayurvedic medicine. An Ayurvedic approach to postpartum includes 42 days of rest and relaxation after birth, keeping the body warm, and eating warm nourishing food. This helps mother and baby bond, helps mom heal, and can also help decrease the risk of postpartum depression and anxiety.
Postpartum prep and support is just as important as birth prep and support 🍲

How does a doula support you through birth?

⭐️Knowledge/Information: As your doula I will only provide you with evidence based information. I will never give medical advice. We’ll meet before your birth and discuss your birth plan/preferences and work through some comfort techniques.

⭐️Emotional: Labour can be an emotional rollercoaster. My job is to encourage you, keep you as calm and relaxed as possible, hear you out, and believe in you!

⭐️Physical: Helping you into different positions, breathing with you, massaging, creating a good environment, and helping you with movement are all ways that I can physically help you through labour

⭐️Advocacy: By providing you with evidence based information my goal is to get you to a point where you feel empowered with your decisions. Throughout your labour and delivery I will make sure that you are aware of what’s going on and that your decisions are being respected.

Your doula is your biggest cheerleader 🤍

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a few things lately and am very excited to let everyone know that I am currently certifying to become a birth and postpartum doula as well as a childbirth educator!
