A Doula supports women and birthing people through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. The way I support is as diverse and unique as the client I am helping. Birth and parenthood can mean very different things to different people. I respect your choices and encourage you to do it your way.
I do this by providing;
Informational support;
Providing no nonsense, credible info you actually want to know. Giving you the knowledge and tools to positively impact your entire experience, keeping you strong, in control and feeling great about your entry into parenthood
Emotional support;
Cheering you on every step of the way. It's my mission to be the expert in you and your preferences, protecting them at all costs. Supporting you in a way self doubt won't be a factor, providing a safe space in vulnerable moments, exploring all the feels that come with this epic life transition.
Practical support;
Overlooked practicalities will be taken care of, so you are only focused on what's important to you. Tender postpartum days are more manageable with birth debrief, nourishing food, feeding support, service hook ups, housework... the list goes on.
