Postpartum Doula, PCD(DONA)

Supporting you and your family through the fourth trimester.

It is my greatest honor to step into the homes of the families I support during the most tender and precious time, as they welcome their new baby and transition into their new lives.
I am here to help you gain confidence in your new role and to ease your postpartum experience so that you can focus on the most important things, resting to heal your body after birth, and bonding with your new baby and as a new family.

MY Support approach

Practical

While you rest and recover from your birth experience I help to easing the burden of household chores and food prep. I can also help to optimally organize your baby and nursing areas, as well as assist with newborn and sibling care.
Informational

From nursing and feeding support to your postpartum recovery, you can rest at ease knowing that the information I give you is current and evidence based. I also provide expert references and referrals.
Emotional

A monumental shift in your life has occurred…now what? The postpartum period is often filled with all kinds of emotions, great highs and lows, feelings of isolation, and a lot of confusion. I can help you to identify those feelings, provide compassionate companionship, and provide resources when needed.
