What is a Postpartum Doula?
A Postpartum Doula is a nurturing guide who supports families in their homes during the first few months after birth, helping them transition smoothly into parenthood. I typically provide 3-4 hours of support per visit, either daily or a few days a week for a period of time (6-12 weeks is common). My goal is to empower mothers to trust their own intuition, offering the extra hands and guidance needed to preserve the sacred postnatal period. Every mother is the best caregiver for her baby, and I help her connect with that inner knowing while providing evidence-based information and hands-on support. I assist with:
-
Physical, emotional and informational support for the mother and family
-
Post-birth comfort measures for the mother
-
Providing time for rest, self care or desired activities for both parents
-
Demonstrating baby care techniques
-
Feeding support
-
Sibling care
-
Light tidying, cleaning and laundry
-
Food preparation
-
Errands
-
Postpartum mood disorder awareness and resources
-
Referrals to community resources
By creating a calm and supportive environment, I help families thrive, ensuring they feel confident and connected on their parenting journey.


Why hire a Postpartum Doula?
In many traditional cultures, the first 30-40 days after birth are considered a sacred time for the new mother to rest, heal, and bond with her baby. During this period, families are surrounded by experienced relatives who offer wisdom, guidance, and hands-on support. In today’s fast-paced world, many families are distanced from this type of community care, and the importance of nurturing the postpartum period is often overlooked. This is where a postpartum doula steps in. By providing consistent, compassionate support, I help recreate that nurturing environment, allowing mothers to heal and connect with their intuition as they care for their baby.
Research shows that families who receive adequate postpartum support experience:
-
Greater breastfeeding success
-
Increased self-confidence as new parents
-
Lower rates of postpartum depression
-
Reduced household stress and overwhelm
​​
As your postpartum doula, I bridge the gap created by modern life, offering guidance, reassurance, and practical help, so you feel empowered and confident in your new role as a parent.
