Your postpartum doula will be an important part of your life for a short time. It is important that you find someone with whom you feel completely comfortable. You will be considering not only skills and competency, but also personality and style.
I can help you ease into motherhood by providing both emotional support and practical advice on newborn care and infant feeding. I am able to help with various household tasks, allowing the mother more time to enjoy and bond with her newborn. I am not a "baby nurse" which typically focuses on the newborn alone. As a postpartum doula, I focus care on supporting the parents, so that they can best care for their new baby. I help the mother in a way that allows her to rest when her baby rests. Most importantly, I will adjust my services to meet the particular needs of each family.
If you would like to meet me in person, I'd be happy to set up a 30-minute interview in your home. There is no charge for this interview, as it is our opportunity to explore whether we are a good match for each other.
