My mission is to take care of your family as my own.

Welcome 

After many weeks of pregnancy and who knows how many hours of labor, the postpartum period is a short season of life that follows the delivery of your child in which you recover from birth. Your baby unfurls slowly into world of bright lights and sounds, and together you devote yourselves to forging your relationship outside the womb. During this time of amazing intensity and massive adjustment, your body transforms again and your heart is full with more feelings than you ever knew possible, your internal rhythm "ping-pongs" as days and nights merge, your stamina and serenity get tested like never before, your connection to the world you knew before loose or even come undone, and your sense of who you are begin to change and more. 

A postpartum period of healing and adjustment is essential. After the rigorous and demanding act of birth it is critical and necessary for the whole family that you take the first weeks to heal and rest. As a Postpartum Doula we will care, nurture, and take all of responsibilities off your plate so that you can focus on one thing only, transitioning healthy and happily from expecting woman to mother. 

My understanding is that the new mother is as vulnerable as her newborn, requiring her own steady stream of attention and care.
