Maybe you’ve never even heard of a postpartum doula. I hadn’t either until my daughter hired a labor & delivery doula.  After being present at my grandson’s birth and talking with my daughter’s doula, I learned that there are not only birth doulas, but postpartum doulas, too. This role seemed a natural fit for me. I’ve always loved building relationships with families and helping them gain more confidence as parents. I’m at a time in my life where this opportunity fits in well with my day-to-day schedule. I can still be the “Nana” that I want to be, while also loving on other new babies and their families. 

You’ve heard the phrase before: “It takes a village.”  Oh, how true this is! Whether this is your first baby or you’re adding to the pack, those first weeks can be a challenge without a support system in place. When you hire me as your postpartum doula, you can catch up on some sleep (oh, precious sleep!), enjoy a long, hot shower, get help with those never-ending tidying up tasks, and I can even prepare a meal for you while I am at your home. More than just the physical demands of parenthood, I can provide emotional support and a listening ear. With years and years of newborn care experience, I can help answer your questions and direct you to additional helpful resources.  The truth: you can’t do it all alone, and that’s ok! Let me support you during this exciting time in your life.
