Postpartum Doula
A new baby at home is a magical time, and brings about tremendous change to every part of life. As a postpartum doula I foster the innate wisdom of mothers to bond and attend to their babies, and help their partners find there strong supporting role during this tender time. Through guidance and education, as well as hands on practical help, mothers and partners are empowered to discover and nurture the new family constellation as they find their own way on the parenting path.
Parenting a newborn is truly transformative, and can be exhausting. as new mom's adjust to the babies sleep and feeding patterns. As a postpartum doula, I help to create and hold a calm and steady space to assist baby, mom, partner and other children to stay present and open as they adjust to the baby's rhythms. My aim is to support women and families in developing and trusting their inner wisdom as parents. I also help in practical ways, like cooking small meals, holding the baby so mom can rest or shower, and leading parents through simple movement and mindfulness techniques to use daily, especially when the going gets tough.
