Labor, Birth, & Postpartum Doula Support for the Mid-Ohio Valley
As a doula, I always consider parents’ feelings and build confidence whenever possible. Through praise, acceptance, and a non-judgmental approach, I help the couple increase knowledge and understanding of the birth and postpartum periods, creating a smooth transition as this new life becomes a beloved member of your family. I teach strategies and skills that will improve parental bonding with the newborn, and facilitate the reception and assistance of the newborn with older siblings.
As a mother, and doula to many previous families, I understand the significance of support and positive encouragement throughout the entire perinatal period. The postpartum experience can be particularly difficult, especially for new parents. However, with an adequate support system, this transitional time can be one of calm learning and smooth adjustment. A calm baby who is growing well increases parents’ confidence and memories of a positive experience. I help the family create these beautiful memories that will last a lifetime, because every family deserves a gentle beginning.
