 Our Philosophy...
 
The Postpartum Doula's role changes from family to family, day to day, even hour to hour. Teacher, nurturer, listener and sometimes just a shoulder to lean on, a doula at all times provides reassurance and support. Our support includes hands on help and experience...please see our Services page for more information. It is our belief that parents can and will be successful.*
 
Our main goal is to enable parents to move toward independence by feeling confident in their parenting skills and decision making abilty.
 

A Postpartum Doula:

  • Sees the family as a unit
  • Is trained to be nonjudgemental
  • Observes and maintains client confidentiality

 

 We specialize and are trained in:

  • Infant and Newborn care
  • Lactation support
  • Childcare and development
  • Postpartum depression
