Feel Empowered Throughout Your Parental Journey
Being a parent is one of the most rewarding and amazing experiences life has to offer. Beyond the love, excitement and anticipation it is completely normal to feel overwhelmed, nervous, and scared. Your postpartum doula will dedicate their time to empower you throughout your parental journey and ease any challenges along the way. In doing so, this allows you time to relax, which promotes healing and bonding with your new baby.
Our Postpartum Doula Promise
As your postpartum doula, we promise to educate and support you in ways that create success in your unique, parental journey.
Each family dynamic is different, and the goals and experiences families desire when welcoming a new baby home require special attention. We promise our complete dedication to provide your family with guidance, love, and support allowing YOU to make informed decisions in line with your parenting goals.
If breast/chest feeding or bottle feeding is part of your journey, we will meet you where you are to educate, guide, and if needed offer referrals along the way.
Rest assured, if you are looking for overnight support, our overnight doulas will help to ease your transition home, allowing you time to sleep while baby is being lovingly care for.
We look forward to celebrating all of your successes with you as we walk alongside you on your journey.
Along this entire, ever changing journey, you deserve to feel empowered.

Your Postpartum Doula
Your postpartum doula will see you for a prenatal session before your baby comes, if included or selected in your package. Having this prenatal session provides an opportunity for us to get to know one another and allow excitement and comfort around our support. This time provides an opportunity for you to share your hopes, dreams, fears or anxieties. We learn where to better focus our energy, giving insight into areas that might be overlooked during an often emotionally overwhelming time.
In this prenatal you will also learn about our support and the different ways we will be beneficial to you during this time. This also serves as an educational time where we will discuss pertinent information to prepare you for what to expect. Closer to the expected arrival of your baby your doula will check in more frequently. Once your baby has come home, doula support begins as arranged.
You will have a direct email and phone number to your doula so you are able to call, text or email to ask questions, share news, or just chat.

Prenatal Support
A time for us to get to know one another but also to help you feel prepared.

We will also discuss on how you might mentally prepare and manage all the changes that occur during such a transitional time.
Family Support
Adding to the family, whether this is your first child or fifth, creates changes to the family dynamic. We will help smooth this transition by incorporating each family member, highlighting each individuals vital role in the care and support of the new baby. Family walks together on this golden path.
Continued Support

As things change, you may have questions that arise, discover a new need, want to share milestones, or just chat for reassurance. Whatever it is, we are just a message or phone call away! Your parental journey is one we will excitedly continue to travel on with you!
