A doula may help you develop a birth plan, teach relaxation, visualization, and breathing skills useful for labor. Most importantly, the doula will provide comfort, support, and information about birth options.

Postpartum Doulas offer education, support, guideance, and resources to new parents. Services may include: teaching baby care basics; making snacks/meals for the healing mom; assistance with feeding methods (breastfeeding, bottlefeeding); support and resources for PMADs; light household duties; non-judgmental support. We are not nannies nor babysitters, but instead, our focus is on caring for the new mom/parents, so they can care for their newborn.
