Postpartum &
Breastfeeding Support
We all have a deep maternal need for comfort and care during the postpartum.
A Postpartum Doula is unique. We arrive to support you during one of the most exciting and vulnerable times of your life. We create space for you to heal from birth and bond with your baby and provide emotional and practical support.
It is one of our greatest joys to help you establish your conscious, healthy, and empowered transition into motherhood. Our postpartum support is about tending to you, the mother. We serve as educators, a source of encouragement, offer a kind ear and provide you support in real-time. We respect your right to parent in your own way, and come around your journey with open arms.
We see our role as fluid, supporting each family, each day, remaining nimble so we can meet your needs. Our role is to leave you feeling stronger and more confident after each visit.
