A doula is a non-medical support person who offers physical, emotional, mental and educational support. A doula does not replace the spouse/partner. We bring positivity to the birth team and advocate for the birthing person's birth plan. As a holistic leaning doula, I focus on informed consent (and denial), autonomy, natural options, emotional and mental strength, confidence, and education. Personally, I will support and affirm all walks of life and all variations of birth.
So, what is a Postpartum Doula? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. A support person for after baby has been born. A postpartum doula is there to support the family. The new parent's needs are so often are over-looked by friends and family because let's face it, who doesn't want to come over and hold a newborn baby?! BUT caring for and supporting the parents is crucial, and that is where a postpartum doula comes into play. They can offer light housework, grocery shopping, meal prep, helping with older siblings, caring for baby while parents sleep or shower, education/support during the fourth trimester, and information and support on baby blues, PPD/PPA. Pretty much any and everything needed to help everyone settle into their new roles.
I also hold certification as a Peer Lactation Counselor. I am passionate about breast/chestfeeding. With 11 years of personal experience, nursing my own little ones, sharing my (hard earned) knowledge and expertise is something I absolutely love. My lactation services include latch support, supply education, and any sort of troubleshooting to keep you and Baby on the right path. I am always in your corner, cheering you on! With proper support and education reaching your goals is much more attainable. Let me help!
Feel free to reach out with any questions or for more information!
