PENTICTON POSTPARTUM DOULA
What is a postpartum doula? My favourite definition for doula is: "one who mothers the mother".
Everyone deserves a "village" when raising children. In reality, sometimes you need to hire your village. A postpartum doula provides household and woman to woman support while you navigate becoming a mother.
​
This is a sacred time in your life. I love the concept of 'mothering the mother' while you are in the Fourth Trimester. Whether it is making you a cup of tea, listening to you share your birth story, or holding baby while you shower and nap, I will be there for your overall wellness. I offer a holistic outlook on mama-baby care, supporting the family bond while you heal and navigate this new chapter in your life.

Please note *I currently have October 2024 availability onwards for weekend support only

All clients receive a support package and booklet of links to reputable sites for holistic info on birth, postpartum, and newborn care. ​​
My goal in supporting you is to help you form a bond with your baby and navigate this new chapter in your life. I do not offer sleep training nor will I work with families who request it - however I can offer an outlook on biological mama-baby behaviour to encourage realistic expectations on infant feeding and sleeping patterns.
I am educated on breastfeeding and normal infant behaviour, however I am not an IBCLC or medically trained. I will recommend other care providers when necessary.
