Birth Doula:
Postpartum Doula: As a postpartum doula, I am there to care for the mother, baby and family in a way that is best suited to them. This may include education and resources on issues such as breastfeeding, newborn care, and postpartum depression, as well as offer meal preparation, light house cleaning, and care of baby and/or siblings. I am there to mother the mother, because as we all know, a happy and well cared for mother makes a happy family!
My philosophy ~
My philosophy is that every family unit is unique and each has their own set of needs and beliefs. As a birth and postpartum doula, it is my job to educate and support the families to fit their needs and I am confident I am able to do that in a non-judgemental fashion. The journey that is parenthood is filled with both endless questions and constant joys. I am here to help answer your questions and witness your joyous moments!
