What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula is "N.E.A.R."!
We Nurture, Educate, Assess, and Refer. We are non-medical support for the 4th trimester. A time that often can be stressful and uncertain, we can help you to not feel alone and unsure. We nurture you, mothering the mother so that you can heal and feel confident in your role as mama.
Who am I?
I, Susan, am a Postpartum Doula & Breastfeeding Specialist. I have four children & 3 grandchildren. I started on this journey to become a Postpartum Doula in 2021 because I remembered so vividly how overwhelming & stressful those first weeks are as a new mom & I wanted to help relieve that stress for women.
I am also very passionate about breastfeeding. With my first born I struggled with breastfeeding. I was not prepared for the difficulties that lay before me. So I decided to earn a certificate through Lactation Education Resources to help other mamas get through those challenges. I have come to believe that education about breastfeeding is one of the keys to success. If you choose to breastfeed, I am there to support you & help you in any way I am able.
But no matter how you feed your baby, you mama, deserve postpartum support & to know you are not alone.
As a Postpartum Doula I want to help you feel confident and cared for, rested and nourished. I want to help you feel joy in these early days.
I am a Postpartum Kindler of Joy!

I would be excited to help you bring peace & joy to your 4th trimester.
