Postpartum Doula Services

"I truly believe having Molly as my PPD helped stave off postpartum depression and I was able to adjust better and more healthfully as a result. It was an amazing decision. The only think I would change next time is to have used her as a birth doula as well." Elizabeth

What is a Postpartum Doula?

What is a Postpartum Doula?

The role of a Postpartum Doula is to provide nurturing guidance to the new or growing family. As a Postpartum Doula I provide non-medical physical and emotional support and household assistance after the birth of your baby. I have received training approved by DONA (Doulas of North America), CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association), as well as drawing on my years of experience in childcare and as a nanny.
