Doula Services
|
Since my son's birth I have been in deep awe and respect for birth and birthing women/people. I am devoted to support Birthing parents in this beautiful journey and help create the kind of birth they want for themselves and their babies. I strive to help partners to become the best labor support they can be. I am an advocate for women's/human rights, natural birth and healthy babies. I offer doula services, private and group childbirth education and placenta medicine.
My role as a doula is to provide the birthing parent and her partner with information and resources, prepare and support them physically, emotionally and spiritually through the initiation of birth, take care of the practical things so that they can pay attention to each other and their baby. I also provide information and support postpartum: with breastfeeding, newborn care, recovery, parenting resources, co-sleeping, baby wearing, preventing and dealing with postpartum depression and counseling. |
