What is a postpartum doula and what do we do?
A postpartum doula supports families during the postpartum period of parenthood; providing them with emotional, physical and (evidence-based) informational support.
The postpartum doula provides a variety of services but the main goal is to nurture and "mother the mother" during such a monumental and life changing transition.
