WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE?
When a birth occurs, you may feel anxious and overwhelmed in the early weeks afterwards. The skills you learned in the many classes you may have taken have been forgotten or doesn't seem to be working with this precious newborn. Caring for a new life is not only a joy, but a responsibility all at the same time that can cause stress on top of the sleepless nights. The team that gathered around for the birth is no longer there and solitude starts to creep in. Exhaustion and frustration are natural, but doesn't have to become a way of life for weeks on end. As a doula, that void can be filled reducing your chances of postpartum depression and anxiety by empowering you with the support you need and deserve.
My goal as your Doula and Wellness Specialist is to not only empower you, but elevate you and encourage you on your journey into motherhood/parenthood, while gaining a greater understanding of your newborn's emotional, physical, and behavioral needs. Your health needs are important, so let someone help you get life balanced and back on track.
