Postpartum Doula SupportIt takes a Village. We are all quite familiar with this phrase. However, it has become primarily a lost art in our current culture that overlooks this crucial time, misleading us to believe we have to do this all on our own. Parents who feel well cared for when bringing home their new baby experience more positive memories of this major life transition. Encouragement, experienced care, and support go a really long way when adjusting to your "new normal" & building your parenting confidence! This is the most challenging, yet awe-inspiring experience of your life!

**Please Note** Because I also serve as a Birth Doula and am a Mom myself, there may be times that I request understanding and flexibility with scheduling as well. I will always do my best to accommodate needs and adhere to scheduled times, but sometimes babies have their own agenda's in mind ;) Think Outside the BoxThere are many other life situations that doula's can provide much-needed emotional support and comfort:
