POSTPARTUM DOULA

 

What a postpartum doula does changes from day to day, as the needs of the family change. Postpartum doulas do whatever a mother needs to best enjoy and care for her new baby. A large part of their role is education. They share information about baby care with parents, as well as teach siblings and partners to “mother the mother.” They assist with breastfeeding education. Postpartum doulas also make sure the mother is fed, well hydrated and comfortable.

ABOUT ME

I always knew I wanted to work with women and babies. From a young age I wanted to be a nurse. Through college I worked towards a degree, but life took a different course and I met my wonderful husband. We got married, and soon after left on our journey in the Army. I have had an awesome opportunity to see the world and am happy to support my husband in his career. With our ever changing locations I found it hard to finish my goal of Nursing School, but I did continue to work in the medical field.

 

My husband and I have 3 wonderful kids. After the birth of my first child, I realized the importance of a woman getting the full physical and emotional support she needs in labor. I truly feel that I have found what I am made to do! Being a Doula and Childbirth Educator allows me the amazing privilege to support, nurture and educate women in pregnancy, birth and those wonderful newborn days. All the reasons I had wanted to become a nurse. I strongly believe that a woman’s body knows how to birth, and that all the processes that we go through to give birth to our children have a reason. I believe every woman deserves a doula to support her during the most wonderful and memorable time of her life.
