Postpartum Doula Support

The 4th trimester is an amazing, but tender time. A family has been born or your family has enlarged!

As you get to know your baby and grow into your new roles as parents, you may find yourself needing a little extra help. Having a postpartum doula will provide the extra care and support that your family needs as you adjust to your new normal.

Hi, I'm Marnellie of Hānau Doula.

Congratulations! You're expecting! Now what?!

I know from personal experience — and supporting hundreds of families just like you! — that welcoming a new baby is a life-changing event.

I also know what it’s like to feel “stuck” or unsure of the best next step for you and your family. To feel like you’re drowning in an endless rabbit hole of information coming at you from all sides… your providers, family, friends...

Or to feel frustrated after spending hours and hours searching for answers on Dr. Google, but you’re uncertain of how all the pieces fit together.

I’d love to help simplify the process and support you along your unique journey.

As your Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, I’ll be your guide, helping you navigate through pregnancy, birth and parenthood. Because you deserve to feel supported, equipped and empowered as you prepare for and welcome your little one to the world.

I’m here to support YOUR goals. I’ll help you make a plan and plan for the unexpected, providing you with practical information and tools to help you have a positive birth experience and easy transition into parenthood.
