A Postpartum Doula provides non-medical support following the baby’s birth. I offer physical, emotional, and informational support during this period, which is often referred to as your “fourth trimester”. Postpartum doulas are trained in caring for a new mom, a new baby, helping with breastfeeding, postpartum nutrition, and much more. My goal is to decrease stress and increase your confidence, promoting a positive and healthy transition into parenthood.
