Postpartum GuidanceWhether this is your first or fifth baby, the pressure to have it all together soon after you’ve given birth is overwhelming for many families. As a certified postpartum doula, I will anticipate your family’s needs while taking care of the details behind the scenes.

HAVING A KNOWLEDGEABLE TRAINED SUPPORT PERSON BY YOUR SIDEA doula is a non-medical professional who accompanies women in labor to help ensure a satisfying birth experience. I have completed training approved by DONA International and am certified thru ProDoula where I draw on my professional training, knowledge and experience to provide emotional support and physical comfort. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, soothing touch, positioning and other techniques for comfort. I am independent and self-employed. As your doula, I am working for you, not your caregiver or hospital.
