Postpartum Doula FAQs
What is a postpartum doula?
A postpartum doula is a trained professional that provides support to parents on the journey of new parenthood.
My primary role as a postpartum doula is to support new parents as they adjust to the physical, emotional and practice challenges that come with newborn parenthood.
As your postpartum doula, I will support you:
Emotionally - by listening, offering assurance and providing a safe space for you to express your feelings and experiences
Physically - assisting with newborn care, postpartum recovery care, breastfeed assistance and light housework
Education - providing evidence-based & non-biased information related to the fourth trimester
In my role as a postpartum doula, I am NOT a medical professional but rather a trained professional within the scope of postpartum support for mother, family and newborn baby, who can provide hands-on assistance, resourcing, encouragement and presence during the newborn and postpartum periods.
