Postpartum Doula Support
Your decision to hire a postpartum doula is one of the most remarkable things you can do for yourself. Determining your need for this level of support and gifting it to yourself shows your commitment to self-preservation, which in turn, means an even better version of yourself for your entire family!
Getting the rest, nutrition, hydration and emotional support you need as you recover from birthing your baby is essential to that recovery. Congratulations on being someone who is wise enough to prioritize their healing during this delicate and vulnerable time.
Boston Area Doulas bring a wealth of experience to each and every client they serve.
With that experience comes an understanding that no two families are alike. We understand that your parenting philosophies and opinions shape your support. Our doulas are well versed in Attachment Parenting, Scheduled Parenting and a combination of both. Your doula will ask you questions, and then listen to your answers. Your doula comes to you free of any bias toward any particular parenting practices, but has knowledge and experience in variations of all of them.
The long list of things that you can expect during a postpartum visit with your doula is listed below, but what we are not able to put into words, is the RELATIONSHIP that will develop between the two of you.
A trusting connection will organically evolve and you will feel like you have a “person.”
A person who is dialed into you, and who can help center you while easing the upheaval and aftershocks of the “quake.”
Your “person” will be a great source of comfort and information; expertise and understanding.
But the most important thing your doula will be for you is the mirror that shows you the reflection of the badass parent you were always intended to be.
