Having a new baby can be one of the most joyous and wonderful times and it can also be overwhelming and unpredictable. As a postpartum doula, I can be part of your team and can help you to transition as smoothly as possible into this parenting journey.

I know how overwhelming it can be to think about preparing for baby, coming home from the hospital, caring for a newborn, recovering from birth and all that comes with this new phase of your life. I’m here to help you to not only survive your postpartum journey but to thrive.

Some ways I, as a postpartum doula, can help you during this postpartum time is:

• provide both day time and night time shifts to help with all postpartum needs

• meal planning, grocery shopping, meal preparation

• meal train coordination

• childcare coordination

• light housekeeping

• run errands

• accompany you to appointments

• sort, wash, fold and put away your laundry

• educate and support you through breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding or combination feeding

• take care of baby and/or older siblings so you are able to take care of yourself whether that’s by having a bath, taking a nap, drinking a coffee that’s actually hot, etc.

• provide referrals as needed to community resources or other resources

• provide non-judgemental emotional and mental health support

• and much more
