Postpartum Doula Support
Because you can't pour from an empty cup!
Having a new baby is a time of excitement, love, and happiness and simultaneously full of exhaustion, worry, and questions – that’s OK and completely normal. We know that experienced & compassionate postpartum support can lessen the intensity of this time and allow you to focus on your new baby. That’s what our Postpartum Doula services are all about.
​
As Postpartum Doulas, we provide in-home and in-hospital support to help with a little bit of everything and anything that can make the time following a baby, a little bit easier.
​
No matter if this is your sixth child or your first, you deserve help. If this is your first, you may benefit most from access to a professional with the answers to all your questions – and of course, help with food preparation and household tasks so you can spend your time cuddling and recovering. For the experienced parent, you may benefit most from extra hands around the house and for older siblings. Whatever your family life – our customizable postpartum services can fit your needs.
​
