Happy Births. Happy Babies.
Benefits of a Postpartum Doula
Postpartum doulas support families during the transition from couple to parents or from parents of one to multiple. Hiring a postpartum doula has been shown to improve postpartum mental health and promote family bonding. As a postpartum doula, I provide newborn care, newborn development education, breastfeeding support and education, meal prep, and light housekeeping.
Supporting the Supporters
Many partners are concerned that doulas replace them in the home & delivery room. The opposite is true. Doulas support and give partners the tools to share in the birthing & postpartum experience within their comfort level.

Benefits of a Birth Doula
Birth doulas provide continuous physical and emotional support to the birthing parent and their partners before and during labor to promote positive labor experiences. The presence of a birth doula during labor has been shown to shorten labor & reduce the need for pain medications and medical interventions. As a birth doula, I provide suggestions for positions to provide comfort and aid in labor progression. I also provide evidence-based education on what to expect during labor.
