POSTPARTUM DOULA

Postpartum Doulas offer support to families as they adjust to life with a new baby.

Doula care typically centers birthing people as they heal and process the huge physical, psychological, and philosophical shifts that often arise in the postpartum period. New babies are experiencing the same awakening while siblings and partners are discovering their new roles and making adjustments of their own. Because of this, Aimee believes it is vital to incorporate the whole family in her Postpartum Doula support.

Aimee’s support includes

  • Listening to parents and affirming they are the best parents for their child

  • Sharing knowledge on baby development and all the tricks she has up her sleeve to make parenting easier

  • Infant feeding education & support

  • A focus on relationships as they shift and need tending to in new ways

  • Talking with parents about perinatal moods & anxiety disorders  

  • Helping siblings and relatives adjust to their growing family

  • Light meal preparation to ensure proper healing & rest

  • Practical household assistance to ensure families aren't getting overwhelmed

  • Referrals to local providers and resources

  • Optional prenatal visits to help families feel prepared for the postpartum period
