What To Expect In A Consultation With Us....
We know being a new parent or bringing home a new baby to siblings can be tough. Asking for help or knowing who to ask for help can be even tougher.
We are proud that our team can offer everything from lactation counseling to overnight doula support.
We'll discuss your vision for life with your new baby, where you think you might need support, and talk about a plan that works best for your family. If we're the right support team for you, GREAT!
But if not, you're still going to come away with a clearer understanding of who can support you best. Plus, we're still going to send you resources and insights into how to make the transition with your new baby smoother.
If you're ready to book your consultation, fill out the form and choose a time! We look forward to meeting you soon!
Additional Postpartum Services
POSTPARTUM DOULAS CAN SUPPORT THE WHOLE FAMILY!
We can help siblings transition to big brother or sister, we can care for baby overnight while you get your rest, and we can help you navigate the journey that is feeding your new baby. No matter what kind of support you're looking for, we got you!
Overnight Doula Support
An overnight doula is your baby's dedicated caregiver who provides essential support and assistance to baby during the nighttime hours.
Their primary role is to take care of the baby’s needs, allowing exhausted parents to get much-needed rest and sleep.
Sibling Doula Support
A sibling doula is a specialized support person who assists families during childbirth by focusing on the needs and emotions of older siblings.
They provide comfort, engage in age-appropriate activities, and offer reassurance to siblings while their parents are in labor.
Postpartum Belly Binding
Postpartum belly binding is a tradition used in many cultures around the world for healing after birth. The method we use is based off of a Bengkung style.
Binding is a terrific way to help the muscle walls while healing and also supporting your spine and posture. There is a thought that binding also helps with emotional healing after pregnancy.
Lactation Services
During your sessions, your lactation counselor will observe breastfeeding/latch and address your individual concerns to best help you.
At the end of our session, you’ll get a specialized plan to help you establish and achieve future breastfeeding goals.
And we provide a lot of support remotely if a global pandemic says we need to do that too.
