WHAT DOES A POSTPARTUM DOULA DO?
A postpartum doula helps to serve and nurture the postpartum family holistically.
Women who work with a postpartum doula are less likely to suffer from postpartum depression and mood disorders.*
*Women who received doula care had 52.9% lower odds of cesarean delivery (OR: 0.471 95% CI: 0.29–0.79) and 57.5% lower odds of postpartum depression/postpartum anxiety (PPD/PPA) (OR: 0.425 95% CI: 0.22–0.82)-National Library of Medicine, 2022

J.G
Donna was a godsend during the first few weeks of having my baby, she was able to help cook, clean, even giving me me some time for myself while she watched the baby. She was available anytime I needed to call and ask questions and took the time to make sure I was reassured and my concerns were answered. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who asks.
