A Doula is defined as a woman who is experienced in childbirth and who provides physical, emotional, and informational assistance and support to a mother before, during, or after childbirth. A Postpartum Doula does just that.

Having a new spirit come into your life is a very awesome and life changing event. My goal is to empower new parents and even experienced parents to trust their own parenting instincts. I provide support to the new or growing family to help mom heal and make the family transition as smooth as possible. Some parents are naturally comfortable with their new infant and may just need an extra set of hands, while others may feel like they just landed on the moon and their whole world has been turned upside down. In either case I can help you. My services provide a loving, nurturing and supportive approach to support your unique parent child relationship.

Some of the services I provide are:

• Baby care essentials such as diapering, bathing, burping, holding, clothing the baby, umbilical  cord care, circumcision care if necessary, etc.

• Help mom learn the “art” of breastfeeding

• See that the new mom is eating healthy foods for healing

• Prepare light meals for the new parents and siblings

• Although my focus will be the newborn, I can assist with older siblings

• Wash baby’s laundry

• Run errands, such as grocery shopping or drug store

• Watch baby so mom can get some rest or take a shower

• Assist in organizing baby’s room and changing area

• Light housekeeping: keeping the kitchen clean (dishes), take out the bathroom and bedroom trash, tidy up after mom and baby

• Screen phone calls and visitors so mom can rest

• Accompany mom and baby to doctor visits

• Provide appropriate referrals
