As a postpartum doula, I am trained to understand what new babies and new parents truly need. I mother the mother, and help their family navigate this new chapter.
During pregnancy... I help you draft a postpartum plan, provide breastfeeding education, and offer demonstrations (breastfeeding positions, hand expression, babywearing and more). We also discuss normal newborn behaviour, the postpartum body, and tips for recovery. I also offer a perinatal mood disorder assessment (not diagnostic) so that we can mobilize resources and support. This is all so you and your family feel more equipped for your baby's arrival.
After birth... As I become familiar with your unique situation, I make helpful suggestions for your physical + mental wellness, offer feeding support, and help you navigate your new life. I'm happy to offer relaxing neck + shoulder massages, meal prep assistance, and light housekeeping, so that you can settle into your new and dynamic role.
Overnight support provides great relief for tired parents, whether your newborn nurses or is bottle-fed. I typically stay in a separate room (nursery or family room) next to your newborn (in a crib or bassinet), and care for them throughout the night.
