Doula services that honor you, your child, and your desired postnatal experience.
About Your Doula
Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a mom, postpartum doula, newborn care specialist and La Leche League leader with a heart for moms and babies and a drive to help others. My background in education and childcare deepened my natural interest in early childhood development. The more I learned, the more I came to understand how crucial the first hours, days and weeks of a child’s life are. Becoming a mother myself strengthened my focus on supporting families through the challenging, transformative and magical postpartum period. I truly believe that by supporting parents and babies through the postpartum period, we can shape a better future.
What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula’s role is to guide and nurture new mothers and their families through the postpartum period, also known as the newborn period or fourth trimester. Doulas provide practical, emotional and informational support for families of all sizes and compositions. While a nanny or newborn care specialist will provide care for your baby, doulas provide care and support for the whole family. Postpartum doulas guide and support their clients in a healthy and satisfying postpartum experience.
The word sacred refers to something deserving veneration. Nothing more aptly describes pregnancy and the postpartum period. A new life is brought into the world and a new family is formed. It is a vulnerable time for the parent, baby, and family as a whole. This time should be protected, honored and celebrated, with space made for the tremendous growth that happens therein. This is where your circle comes in. In a perfect world, everyone would have unlimited access to familial and community support throughout their postpartum period, but this often isn’t the case. As your Doula, I step into the gaps and complete your circle of support. I am here to guide, uplift and support you, helping shape your postpartum experience in the ways that are important to you.
