A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to expectant parents before, during, and after childbirth. They do not provide medical care but focus on offering guidance, comfort, and advocacy to make the birthing experience as positive as possible.

A birth doula primarily supports expectant parents during labor and childbirth, while a postpartum doula provides assistance and guidance during the postpartum period, typically the first few weeks after birth. Birth doulas focus on labor support, while postpartum doulas help with newborn care, breastfeeding support, and parental well-being.

It's a good idea to hire a postpartum doula during your pregnancy to establish a relationship and receive support throughout the journey. To choose the right doula, consider factors like their experience, philosophy, availability, and compatibility with your birth plan and personality.

Not necessarily! These can be one off services, so message me when you need me! Lactation consults can be virtual or in person.

I am fully vaccinated, boosted, and am happy to mask around you and your newborn!

My live courses are no longer available on Wednesday evenings, but they are available for download. I am still offering private virtual birth classes.
