postpartum services that honor you, your child, and your journey
About Your Doula
Welcome! I’m Emily, and I'm so glad you're here. I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula and Certified Lactation Counselor serving families in Gainesville, Florida. There is no work more sacred than parenting, and I believe the first steps on the journey of parenthood deserve special care and respect. I provide personalized postpartum and feeding support that honors each family's individual needs, choices and desires.
What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula’s role is to guide and nurture new parents and their families through the postpartum period, also known as the fourth trimester. While the postpartum period usually coincides with the newborn period, not all pregnancies end with a baby to take home and love. No matter what, the postpartum parents deserve compassionate, attuned care. Doulas provide practical, emotional and informational support for families of all sizes and compositions. Postpartum doulas support and guide their clients toward healthy, healing postpartum experience.
The word sacred refers to something deserving veneration. Nothing more aptly describes the process of welcoming new life into the world. This process should be protected, honored and celebrated, with space made for the tremendous growth that happens therein. This is where your circle comes in. 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.
