The postpartum period can be overwhelming, emotional, demanding and physically challenging. A postpartum doula is a trained professional who offers hands-on, emotional, and practical support during this tender transition, helping you adjust, recover, and feel confident as a new parent.
Emotional Support
A calm, nurturing presence who listens without judgment. I help you navigate the whirlwind of feelings that arise in the early postpartum period, with compassion and understanding.
Practical Infant Care Support
Expert help with newborn care, including diapering, soothing, feeding routines, and baby sleep. I guide you in breastfeeding or bottle feeding, positioning, latching, pumping, and managing common challenges.
Light Household Help
Support with laundry, tidying, meal prep, and anything else that gives you space to rest and bond with your baby.
Evidence-Based Information
I answer your questions, share trusted resources, and connect you to local specialists when needed — all based on the latest in postpartum and infant care.
Self-Care & Recovery Guidance
You matter too. I help you focus on rest, nourishment, and healing. Whether it’s nutrition tips, emotional well-being, or simply creating a gentle rhythm at home — your recovery is a priority.
The postpartum period is tender, beautiful, and often overwhelming. When you invite me into your home during this time, my focus is to help you feel safe, supported, and deeply cared for. With more than twenty years of experience supporting families, I bring a calm, grounded presence that allows you to rest, recover, and ease gently into life with your baby.
Every family’s rhythm is different. Every baby is different. My role is to tune into your unique needs — without judgment, without pressure, without expectation. Whether you’re navigating feeding challenges, emotional waves, physical recovery, or simply the adjustment to a new identity, I offer care that feels soothing, respectful, and tailored to your experience.
Drawing from my background in Shiatsu therapy, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and traditional postpartum wisdom, I offer a nurturing combination of:
Grounding touch and soothing comfort measures
Emotional support through presence and deep listening
Practical guidance that honours your choices and parenting style
Breastfeeding support informed by training with Breastfeeding Bodies and collaboration with lactation consultants
Gentle education that empowers rather than overwhelms
My intention is to be the steady anchor you can rely on during a time of enormous change — someone who brings softness to the hard moments, encouragement when you feel unsure, and peaceful energy when the days feel full.
With me by your side, you can expect to feel:
More rested and supported
More confident in your instincts
More connected to your baby and your own healing
More spaciousness in your day-to-day
Truly seen and heard in your new role
Postpartum isn’t something you’re meant to get through alone. From the first days after birth to the weeks of settling into a new family rhythm — including the transition of welcoming another baby — my care is rooted in presence, gentleness, and genuine respect for your journey.
