Postpartum Doula Services
A lot of careful thought and planning is spent on pregnancy and delivery, after many gruelling hours of labor, you may or may not be surprised at just how exhausted you are, both mentally and physically.
A postpartum doula can provide support in the delicate time after your baby is born.
As a postpartum doula, it is my goal to help you adjust to the many changes and new challenges you may encounter with a new baby. It is my hope that when you have support, those challenges can feel less overwhelming, you grow in confidence and your new family can bond and flourish.
