Postpartum Doula
Gentle, practical support in your home for the early days of parenthood.
Birth doula services are available from Brunswick to Portland and throughout surrounding Midcoast and Southern Maine communities, generally within approximately 50 miles of Brunswick. Travel fees may apply for in-home services beyond 40 miles.
Bringing your baby home is exciting, beautiful, exhausting, and often more overwhelming than anyone can be prepared for.
While so much attention is given to preparing for birth, the postpartum period deserves just as much care. My goal is to help you feel supported, nourished, and confident as you settle into life with your new baby.
Whether you need an extra set of hands, someone to answer questions, a warm meal waiting for you, or simply another adult to remind you that you're doing a wonderful job, I'm here to support your family with compassion and without judgment.
Every postpartum visit is tailored to your unique needs. Some days that might look like talking through feeding questions while I fold laundry. Other days it might mean holding your baby while you shower, preparing nourishing meals, organizing your nursery, or simply sitting together as you process your birth experience.
There is no "right" way to use postpartum support. My role is to help lighten the mental and physical load so you can focus on healing, bonding with your baby, and finding your rhythm as a family.
