Postpartum Doula

As a postpartum doula I'm a trained and supportive professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational assistance to families within the weeks or months following childbirth. I concentrate on the recovery and adjustment period after the baby is born. My role is to help ease the transition into parenthood by offering guidance, practical assistance, and emotional support during the postpartum period. 

Services: 

Scheduled  1-2 days per week of care, each scheduled in 2-hour blocks of time.
