These team members have undertaken additional training and certifications to become certified lactation counselors. These counselors can meet with you in person before your delivery to help you be educated about breastfeeding and lactation and help you set up your home and workplace for success. They can also meet in person and virtually with you in those first few days and weeks as you are learning how to manage a new little one with all their feeding cues and issues.

Many individuals struggle with pain in their hips back and belly in the third trimester. As we deliver the baby one of the great things we can do for our bodies to help our bodies heal and recover in the first few weeks postpartum is learn how to wear proper support and wear enjoy it. There is little we do for ourselves in the first few days of a postpartum and the Belly Bind session is a way to help yourself heal and recover well. This provides support for the back, proper posture for breastfeeding, can help aide in the repair of diastasis recti and provide comfort and support for the muscles that are healing and repairing after birth. Our ties are hand died and made from cotton muslin. The doula will travel to you, give you a demonstration of how the bind is done, teach you how to do the bind, watch you bind yourself and then do a final bind on you so you feel all snug and secure before they leave. They will also leave you with instructions and videos so you will have those to refer back on

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum can be stressful times in anyone’s life. Many individuals get overwhelmed, that anxiety and depression can become a dominating force. At least 1 in 5 people giving birth will struggle with anxiety or depression while pregnant or within a year after giving birth. These illnesses – also known as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, or PMADs — are the #1 complication of pregnancy and childbirth. Partners – and other family members – may need additional support during the adjustment period after a baby is born. The entire family is affected when a parent is suffering from anxiety or a mood disorder.
