When a woman becomes a mother, her identity changes, her values evolve and her life is forever different. This unique transformation is exciting yet can be challenging. During this time, a mother can be overwhelmed and confused therefore needing a tremendous amount of support and information.
Having a Postpartum doula will make this transition smoother, easier and less frightening.
As your Postpartum doula, I will support you so you can find the best ways to mother your baby. I "Mother" the Mother, I guide you through the emotional changes, I allow you to rest and bond with your newborn and I take the pressure off dads to be and do everything.

My services are not limited to these tasks. I adapt to the needs of my clients and these needs may vary from day to day or week to week.
