Postpartum Doula Services

How Can a Postpartum Doula Help You?

Postpartum Doulas are specialists that are available to help you and your family transition from pregnancy, to parenting.
Postpartum Doulas provide evidence-based information on topics such as newborn care and feeding, and emotional & physical support for recovery after childbirth.
My main focus as a Postpartum Doula is to help integrate the new baby into your family.
