What is a postpartum doula?

Think of me as a worker bee. I take care of what you want and what you need- so you can take care of what really matters: you and your new baby. As a Postpartum Doula, I am educated and trained in the unpredictable needs of the postpartum mum, partner and baby, as well as the home and siblings (if any). I provide companionship, physical and emotional support, resources and education to assist you and your new family during this unpredictable, beautiful, and often, very challenging, time.

Just what does a doula “dou”?

Dirty diapers? No problem. Piles of unfolded laundry? On it. Need dinner tonight? Let's see what we can whip up! Baby won't stop crying? I'm not a magician, but I will do everything in my power to get him or her- and you- to a much happier place! 

Other typical things I do:

• Diaper, bathe, comfort and feed your newborn

• Offer feeding advice and support- for you and your baby!

• Help create and organize systems for baby

• Take out the trash and recycling

• Entertain and help care for siblings 

• Wash, fold and put away laundry

• Shop for groceries, prep meals, and help with cooking

• Clean and organize the home

• Run errands

I will be there for you, physically and emotionally, adapting with your ever-changing needs surrounding parenthood and a new baby.
