Doula Role, Inclusions and Postpartum Packages
Doula
"Doula" - (/ ˈduːlə /; from Ancient Greek δούλα 'to serve others'); is a non- medical professional who provides companionship, guidance and support for a Mother or other person. A doula can provide support during pregnancy, childbirth, Postpartum and end of life transitions.
A Postpartum doula is different to a midwife. A Postpartum provides support for a new Mother during pregnancy and after childbirth. A Postpartum doula refers to evidential and research-based information and does not replace a midwife, OBGYN, paediatrician, lactation consultant or other medical professional or specialist.
Inclusions
As a Postpartum professional, it is my deepest honour and privilege to provide in-home care for my clients, tailored to their needs and what's best for them. This looks different for every new Mother and her family and includes a scope of different tasks at each visit.
My inclusions are; (but not limited to all at every visit):
- Cooking meals suitable for Postpartum recovery
- Housekeeping (laundry, dishes, general tidy ups)
- Looking out for older children or siblings
- Feeding, settling and changing baby
- Setting up your space for comfort and peace
- Breastfeeding Support
- Safe sleep Support
- On-going txts, calls and virtual support
- Grocery or coffee run!
- Gentle exercise and mobility for Mum (15 mins)
- Gentle massage for Mum (15 mins)
- Gentle massage for baby (5 mins)
Postpartum Packages
Postpartum Packages include a 60-minute complimentary, no obligations meet and greet. Ideally this is done during pregnancy (from 24 weeks gestation) and face to face or online. Together we create a support plan and work out if we're on the same page.
My Postpartum Packages offer all inclusions (but are not subject to all at every visit).
Please see 'Offerings' to find out more about my Postpartum Packages.
