If you’re looking for gentle, caring, and attentive support during your postpartum journey, you’ve come to the right place!
As a dedicated Postpartum Doula, I focus on creating a respectful and nurturing environment, allowing you to embrace the experience of bonding with your baby and caring for yourself with love.
Every postpartum experience is unique, and my goal is to tailor my support to fit your specific hopes and needs. Whether you’re recovering from a cesarean section, adjusting after a difficult labor, or navigating the joys and challenges of welcoming a new baby, I’m here to help you achieve the peaceful and fulfilling transition you deserve.
With a doula by your side, studies show reduced incidence of postpartum depression, increased confidence in parenting skills, and improved breastfeeding success.
My Postpartum Philosophy:
- Every woman deserves the support of a doula if she wants one, as each postpartum journey is unique and special.
- My role is to support both mother and baby. At times, I lead with comfort techniques and guidance; often, I follow—listening, observing, and responding to your needs.
- The postpartum period is a natural time of adjustment where both mother and baby are learning together. Trusting your instincts and embracing the experience can help facilitate a smooth transition.
- As a doula, I provide soothing and supportive care for the body, mind, and spirit during your unique and miraculous journey into motherhood. I also guide your partner and support team to be as involved as they feel comfortable.
- The fewer unnecessary stresses and interventions, the better for both mother and baby.
- Every woman deserves access to evidence-based information to make confident and informed decisions about her postpartum experience.
- With the right support and encouragement, the postpartum period can be a journey of self-discovery, connecting you to your inner strength and capabilities.
- Nurturing home environments, where gentle and respectful caregivers encourage women to care for themselves and their babies, typically result in more peaceful postpartum experiences, with babies who are more content and ready to thrive.
- Women can have positive postpartum experiences anywhere, as long as they are heard, treated with compassion, feel in control, and receive competent care.
- I believe that honoring the transition into motherhood, trusting that your body knows exactly what it’s doing, and creating a calm home environment will help you love your precious baby into this world.
A newborn’s experience during the postpartum period can have lasting effects, and studies show that babies nurtured in safe, loving, and secure environments have the best start in life, both mentally and physically. Research also indicates that mothers supported by doulas tend to have easier breastfeeding experiences, increased confidence, and more affectionate interactions with their babies in the postpartum period.
No matter how many times I am blessed to accompany mothers and babies through this journey, I hold each moment in reverence. I would be honored to join your support team, guiding you and your baby through this precious time, as life unfolds in beautiful new ways.
C’MON BABY! Let’s welcome your baby into your home with health, beauty, and love.
Warmly,
