​

My goal as your Postpartum Doula is to nurture you as parents in your new roles. My training has taught me to always consider a parent's feelings and build confidence whenever possible. I do this through praise, acceptance and a non-judgmental approach. In addition, I teach strategies and skills that will improve your ability to soothe and bond with your baby. 

I create a safe space for you emotionally which supports your mental health and helps you to avoid postpartum depression. I provide a cushioning effect by accepting you as a mother/parent within each stage that you pass through.  This relieves some of the pressure from you by helping you move into your responsibilities gradually. By mothering the mother/partner/parent, I make sure you feel nurtured and cared for, as well as making sure you are eating well and getting enough sleep.

​

I do not market a particular parenting approach. Instead, I hold a safe space for you to develop your own philosophies.

I respect your partner’s role and input, and teach concrete skills that will help your partner to better nurture you and the baby. I share evidence-based information that shows how his or her role in the early weeks will have a dramatic positive effect on the family.

​

As you experience success and your knowledge and self-confidence grows, your needs for my professional support will fade.
