What is the role of a postpartum doula?

In today's modern world the responsibilities and fast-paced lifestyles we as a culture have become accustomed to don’t leave much time for the beautiful and time-honored traditions of ancient postpartum practices still practiced throughout much of the globe today. In a society where the role of the mother is to care for the family, a postpartum doula is there to support the mother so she is able to bond with her newborn while she rests and recovers. With the support of a postpartum doula the mother is better able to regain her vitality after the birth. I believe nourishing food during this time is your best medicine, helping to replenish your resources and feel better prepared to take on the role as new mother.

As your postpartum doula I am there to support you and your family in a variety of ways, from cooking you nourishing postpartum meals, caring for the baby so you are able to rest, supporting you with breastfeeding, doing household chores and helping to care for older siblings (and pets!) so you are able to fully soak in this sacred postpartum time between you and your beautiful newborn baby.
