I'm here for you.

Postpartum doulas are focused on the aftermath of birth and helping to care for parents and babies. These doulas can perform a variety of household tasks, like baby laundry or meal prep, as well as take care of the baby for short periods. They may also focus on mental health in the postpartum period, nurturing the new mother, and helping parents make this transition. Postpartum doulas have evidence-based information when you need it so you can spend your time bonding with your baby instead of sifting through conflicting advice. 

Doulas are in no way meant to take on the same role as your partner. Your partner knows you, your comforts, your emotions, and what you need better than anyone, and will be a huge part of your birth, recovery, and postpartum period. Doulas come with knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that your partner may not have and can help them find the best way to apply that knowledge to you. We love to work with partners, giving them tips for comfort measures and empowering them to be a part of the journey. 

Postpartum doulas care for both the baby and the birthing parent and support the whole family.  A baby nurse only cares for the baby.
