Postpartum Doula Services in Portland, OR & Beyond

Whether this is your first or fourth baby, or you have multiples, it's difficult to determine how much support you’ll need once your little one arrives.

And the transition to life with your new baby happens so fast. One minute you’re dreaming of what life will be like with your bundle of joy...And the next you’re suddenly adjusting to your new role as a parent, getting to know your baby, and balancing all your new responsibilities.

But often during pregnancy, we get so caught up in preparing for labor and birth that often we forget to prepare for what comes AFTER all of this, once your baby arrives!

I’ve been there! Often, the “basics” that seemed easy enough before your baby arrived become much more challenging:

Feeding yourself and your partner healthy well-balanced meals;
Getting in enough sleep to get through the day⁠;
Allowing yourself to take breaks to rest, shower, or go for a walk.

As Your Postpartum Doula...

I’ll help take the pressure off and be an extra set of supportive hands to help you:

Adjust to your demanding new schedule;
Give hands-on support with infant care;
Provide evidence-based advice for a healthy postpartum recovery.

Because when a baby is born, a parent is also born. As you develop and grow in your new skills, you should have access to the knowledge, physical and emotional support, and help you need along the way.

Are you ready to feel confident in caring for your baby? Let’s get prepared for the 4th trimester!

Want to have virtual support from a professional postpartum doula? Here’s where you get answers and guidance to all your newborn questions the first weeks after birth. I’m just a phone call, email, text, or video call away!

After 9 months of pregnancy and the stresses of labor and birth, the 4th trimester is an amazing, but tender time. A family has been born or your family has enlarged!

Research shows that parents who have support and feel secure and cared for during the first few weeks after pregnancy are more successful in adapting to any challenges that arise.

And birthing parents that receive continuous postpartum support experience:

Greater breastfeeding success
Greater self-confidence
Less postpartum depression
Lower incidence of abuse (DONA)

But sometimes you may not receive the level of support you need from families and friends, or visits to your doctor may be too infrequent, leaving you feeling stressed and not knowing where to turn for answers.

As you shift into your new roles as parents, having a postpartum doula will provide the extra care and support that you need as you grow into these roles.

A postpartum doula provides a level of caring and understanding for the needs of:

Postpartum mother or birthing person and partner
Baby/babies
Siblings
Home
Whole family
