I am a Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator serving families in the South Bay find 'joy in their journey' into parenthood through Lactation
Assistance and Infant Care Support.
What I Love About Being A Doula...
Often people say to me: "You must really love babies!" My answer is that to be a postpartum doula, you must love families. As a trained, certified, postpartum doula, I'm a transition specialist; it's my job to help your family transition this new baby into the home. My work is a quiet work during a very private, wonderful, time. I consider it a privilege to help a new couples become comfortable in their very important roles. Couples become parents, siblings take a new place in the family, pets need to adjust, schedules and routines change, the changes that come with having a newborn are endless. With my experience and training I can help remove the normal stresses of this time and help new families experience it as one of joy. Read more...
Breastfeeding Assistance
Helping a new mother and baby learn about each other at the breast is one of the great joys of my work as a postpartum doula.
Because both are new to this task it's easy for mom to blame herself for any challenges regarding feeding. I will help you work on
proper latch and comfort.
Infant Care Support
Infant Care Instruction in the home... Time with both parents. Once you arrive home with your precious new baby, there will be questions. To be able to sit with you in the quiet of your home and help you learn about your baby is such a personal and private time. So many questions come along...
Experience With Multiples
More than "twice the work.. " If you're expecting multiples you'll need a little more planning and support than a parent of a single baby. In working hours upon hours with twin families I can bring a quiet peace to your heart, for a couple that will be bringing home multiple babies. Together we will look at the needs of your babies.
