Postpartum Support

IT’S TIME TO MOTHER THE MOTHER

It’s time rest, nourish, be nurtured and heal.
This precious postpartum period is all about YOU, mama.

Our society has drifted away from how we used to do things. We have lost our original villages that used to surround us with support after birth, which gave us the space to simply focus on bonding with our new baby. A have now culturely become obsessed with the “bounce back”, have set expectations for new moms to do it all, all while caring for a new baby.

The first 12 weeks immediately postpartum, otherwise known as the Fourth Trimester, is a beautiful opportunity to set the groundwork for the rest of your parenthood journey. My job as a Postpartum Doula is to take away some of the guess work, give you the space to connect with the old you (she still exists) and hold your hand as you gently adjust to your new role.

With Postpartum Doula support, you will have loving guidance, trusted resources, proven tips & tricks, and knowledgeable expertise at your service.

What’s Included:

Specialized in home care to help you have a gentler, more empowered fourth trimester. Together, we will navigate this new life with your baby: newborn care, postpartum recovery, feeding and lactation, age-appropriate sleep hygiene, meal preparation and light household care are only some of the many areas of support a postpartum doula offers.

What postpartum support may look like

  • Expert infant feeding support (whether breastfeeding, formula,pumping, etc.)

  • Baby care and education (diapering, feeding, bathing, nail trimming, etc.)

  • Light meal preparation

  • Emotional support. A doula is a trusted friend you can open up to when your world just completely shifted

  • Referrals to tried and trusted professionals in the community when specialized support is needed

  • Safe space to process and unpack your birth

  • Education on safe baby sleep hygiene

  • Postpartum recovery and care

  • Answering all your questions that may come up (and validating – “yes, this is common!”)

  • Sibling care

  • Light housework and laundry

  • Newborn comfort care techniques

  • And so, so much more…

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“Kristin helped us through a difficult time after our second daughter was born. She would come in and take the weight off my shoulders by handling the meals, housework, and getting baby to nap. It gave me room to breathe, and catch up on sleep and self care. She was also just a wonderful person to talk to as I was feeling very isolated and lonely at that time. She was a great help to us and you can see her passion for this work.”
