Postpartum Doula Care

My first priority is to insure that each new mother I serve is rested, relaxed and well cared for. I bring lots of compassion to the new family and try to lighten the load of mundane tasks so that you have time to bond. I provide gentle coaching to assist you with breastfeeding and nurturing your baby. I can help your family get off to a great start whatever your unique situation might be.
