Postpartum Doula

Postpartum Doula Care

The transitional time that follows the birth of a baby can be the most important time to rely on extra support. Resting after the birth of a baby is the fastest way to recover. Most people today do not have the support system we use to have when families lived close to each other. A postpartum doula comes to your home and cares for you and your family, while you recover from the birth. My quiet presence nurtures the entire family to optimize your special time as a new family.

Some of the services provided by a postpartum doula are as follows: nonmedical mommy and baby care, breastfeeding support, sibling care, meal preparation, errands, and household tasks.

Postpartum doula care is especially helpful when faced with an unplanned surgical birth.

Placental Encapsulation

Consumption of the placenta following birth is thought to increase energy in the mother, increase milk production, shorten the duration of postpartum bleeding and decrease risk of postpartum depression. The placenta contains estrogen and progesterone. After birthing a baby, mothers experience a drop in these hormones. Ingesting the placenta restores these hormone levels. Placental encapsulation is a service offered. We will come to your home, prepare the placenta for you, putting it into capsules for postpartum consumption.

Maternal Instinct

Empowering families through choices, support and advocacy, for a positive birthing experience.
