One of the most common things I hear from potential clients is:
“I hope it’s not too early to reach out...”
Or just as often:
“I hope it’s not too late!”

Let me reassure you right now — it is never too early to hire a doula. In fact, hiring a doula earlier in your pregnancy opens up so many more opportunities for connection, preparation, peace of mind, and support.

The initial postpartum period is a delicate time for new parents and their newborn, as they navigate the joys and challenges of early parenthood. One aspect that requires thoughtful consideration is the influx of well-wishers and visitors eager to meet the newest addition to the family. Deciding your stance on visitors during pregnancy can help your postpartum period go a little smoother. Make sure you and your partner are on the same page. If you think it will be helpful, inform your family and friends of your plans ahead of time. Let's explore how to create a supportive environment for postpartum visitors, both for parents and baby, by covering the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How.

Welcoming a new baby into your life is a joyful and transformative experience. Still, it can also be overwhelming and challenging, especially if you do not have a support system and plan in place. During the postpartum period, when both physical and emotional adjustments are at their peak, having support can make a world of difference for your overall recovery. This is where a postpartum doula comes in! Let’s discuss what a postpartum doula is, what one does, and why you might want to consider having one by your side during this crucial time.
