Doula • Doolah • 

Doula comes from an ancient Greek word meaning "a woman who serves". The role of a postpartum doula is to offer informational, physical, and emotional support to the new family as they transition to life with a newborn. As a postpartum doula, my job is much more than sweet newborn cuddles. Although those are always greatly appreciated newborn care is just the start of our supportive journey together. I help educate my clients with up to date research regarding topics such as infant feeding, safe sleep, bathing, milestones etc. I also provide services to help manage and alleviate some household tasks such as meal prep, light housekeeping and laundry.

Benefits of a postpartum doula:

• Lower the incidence of postpartum anxiety/depression

• Increased incidence of breastfeeding beyond 6 weeks PP

• Reduces isolation

• Easy access to evidence based research and resources

• Safe space to discuss feelings 24/7

• Greater quality of sleep

  Our Postpartum doula packages are completely customizable and geared towards the specific needs of each individual family. Whether it’s help with transitioning to life as a new family, sleep concerns (overnight care available) feeding options, meal preparation, or household chores, we will create a plan that will ensure you feel confident and empowered in your new journey.

  Please note that we can create a package to suit your individual needs
