POSTPARTUM SUPPORT PACKAGE
Our modern lifestyle has afforded us so many comforts and advancements, but we have lost certain traditions surrounding birth; namely the postpartum period. Much of my support is inspired by centuries-old wisdom from cultures all over the world that have practices to honour this postpartum period for mother, child and family. Along with up-to-date research and information, I equip families with resources that best serve them. I feel very strongly that this postpartum period is a sacred time essential for fostering the best connection between parent and child as well as empowering the new family to flourish together.
This essential 'fourth trimester 'offers the mother and new family time to: pause and rest their minds and bodies; reflect on the pregnancy and birth; heal the physical and emotional wounds of birthing; rebuild the body and mind; nurture the birthing person so that they can nurture the newborn; bond with the baby and with each other. I have found that mothering the mother leads to the healthiest outcome for all. As your postpartum Doula I will help you navigate the baby care as well as discover your new identity as a parent and what that looks like for you. It is my job as the Pospartum Doula to support the new parents to trust themselves and to help them find the unique rhythm that will work best for their family.
