Postpartum Doula Services & Lactation Support
Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy! Being a new parent is awesome and amazing and your heart positively explodes with love. Having said that, postpartum can also be a struggle and often a very overwhelming and exhausting time. My goal is simply to be present in the home to help in any way I can and lend some expertise. My role includes help with lactation, newborn care, recovery and self-care of the mother, some cooking, light cleaning, and laundry. Happy to walk the dog! If all goes well, the parents will get to nap when I am visiting.
I recently earned my Postpartum Doula Certification through Birth Arts International and am offering Postpartum Doula services in Northern NJ. I hope to hear from you. Please feel free to get in touch your free consultation.
