Postpartum Support

Adjusting to life with a newborn can be challenging especially while recovering from birth. A postpartum doula is there to provide emotional, physical, and educational support. This service is individualized to help with whatever feels good that day. I don’t come in to snuggle baby while you work around the house (unless you want to!) but assist with any tasks that put you at ease.

Please note, a doula is not a nanny or babysitter (both are valuable supports) as they provide a different service.

Birth Support

A Birth Doula is a non-medical professional who provides support to the birthing person and support partner during labor and birth.  Support for both parties can be physical, emotional, and informational.  Doulas work with the family to achieve the most satisfying birth and postpartum experiences possible.  Working with a Birth Doula can decrease the use of medical interventions, reduce time in labor, decrease the anxiety of the birthing person and/or support person, improve bonding with baby post-birth, etc. Alyssa is a DONA trained Birth Doula.
