Postpartum Doula 

Bringing a new baby into the world is a beautiful and life-changing experience — but it can also be exhausting and overwhelming.
As a Certified Postpartum Doula (PPD), my role is to gently guide you through those first precious days and weeks after birth, offering emotional support, practical help, and reassurance during your recovery to adjust to life with your newborn.

 

When to Choose Postpartum Doula Support

Postpartum doula care is ideal for the first one to two weeks after birth, especially if:

  • You’re recovering from labor or a C-section and need extra help at home
  • You’d like guidance with feeding (breast/chest or bottle)
  • You want someone to care for you while you care for your baby
  • You value having emotional and physical support from an experienced professional

Families who already rely on relatives or friends for support often choose postpartum doula services to ensure they also have specialized, knowledgeable care focused on both the baby and the parents’ well-being.

 

The customized support I offer you:

My care is personalized to your needs and may include:

  • Gentle recovery support for the birthing parent
  • Baby latching guidance — helping your newborn find a proper, comfortable latch to encourage effective feeding and reduce discomfort for the parent
  • Feeding guidance and troubleshooting (breast/chest or bottle)
  • Newborn soothing and care techniques
  • Light household help, such as laundry or simple meal prep
  • Creating a calm, supportive home environment
  • Answering questions and providing reassurance during the adjustment period

 

A Focus on Your Recovery and Well-Being

While my work includes newborn care, the heart of my postpartum doula role is supporting you as parents — helping you rest, recover, and feel confident in your new role.

By the time our sessions come to an end, my goal is for you to feel rested, capable, and ready to continue your journey with joy and confidence.

The right moment to hire help

Ideally, the moment you choose life to expand your family is the moment to find help.

There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child, and there exist communities in other cultures where people take this literally. Unfortunately, in our culture, we can't expect our parents, sisters, brothers, or even cousins to come live with us while our babies grow. Mom and Dad usually go through all the phases of pregnancy and postpartum alone. There is nothing to be afraid of, and there is much to learn. However, in our US culture, the industry is growing at its fastest pace each day. Child care professionals have adopted the services of teachers and nurses, and more and more, other agencies are joining our communities to provide complete support to parents. Doulas, postpartum Doulas, lactation consultants, and early baby educators come together to offer new parents all the support they need, beginning in the early stages of pregnancy.

Education and experience are sometimes not necessary when new professionals can prove their education in each field. However, many times, education and experience are obtained by the verified number of years a provider has worked with parents and children.

There are many ways to find help.

Your OB/GYN can recommend reliable child care help, and here is a list you can refer to find help for your family.

  • Agencies,
  • Doulas
  • Word of mouth recommendations
  • Indeed
  • Facebook
  • Online NVS/PPD and Professional Nannies Websites
  • Google search
  • Workforce Commission

On this website, I have collected all the steps necessary to hire the right person. Although it is up to you at what stage of your pregnancy or motherhood you need someone, you might have already decided on the time you anticipate needing help. 

 

If you need help deciding, I can offer the options as your guide.

 

Read books. Choose the books to read from the list to continue with this journey on your own.

Of course, please listen to your OB/GYN recommendations during pregnancy, learn all the classes they provide at the hospital. At the hospital, you will learn all the basics to care for your new baby.
