Postpartum Doulas

The postpartum doula has a special calling to this work. She understands the needs of the postpartum mother. Her job is to mother the mother so she can mother the baby. She will also help with house, sibling care and baby as well as run errands as she will often have her own vehicle. They usually work half days for about two weeks. They are independent so they set their own schedules, have more flexibility, and often have advanced degrees in other fields. They understand the emotional needs of the new parents. Breast feeding support is also offered.

See alphabetical listings below. Please contact the practitioner directly to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions. Be sure to let them know BirthLink sent you!

 

SPOTLIGHT:
"The physical connection with the mother is considered so essential that in some African cultures the cloth that attaches the baby to it’s mothers back is called the placenta."
- Rediscovering Birth, Sheila Kitzinger
