Postpartum Doula Training with Laura

Postpartum Doula Training

A new family brings home their newborn baby, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed with a million questions about their infant and what is happening within their own body. They miss the call button they had access to in the hospital for support and questions. They think about calling their parents for help but are concerned about increasing their anxiety and stress by involving family. And they want to do this on their own, and do it just right. Enter the professional postpartum doula. The professional postpartum doula nurtures the new mom to support recovery and healing, encourages the other parent into their new role, and sets the stage for the parents to get to know their new little family member as they begin this new relationship, creating a bond that will last forever.
