Nurture Service – Birth and Postnatal Doula

As a Birth Doula, we provide emotional and practical support to the birthing person and their family, which can include providing information, helping with household tasks, and offering encouragement and reassurance.

We are trained and experienced in childbirth and the postpartum period and can provide information and guidance to the birthing person and their family.

Working collaboratively with healthcare providers, such as midwives and obstetricians, to ensure that the birthing person receives comprehensive and individualized care, during the lead up to, during the birth, and afterwards.

We help to empower the birthing person and their family, through information, support and encouragement. Providing individualised care and support.

As a postnatal doula I  can provide support and information about infant feeding practices — like breastfeeding, combi feeding etc — as well as tips and tricks for calming your new-born and dealing with all those new parenting responsibilities. As your postnatal doula,  I  can also help with your physical or emotional recovery during the fourth trimester, If extra help is needed in these areas,  and is also a great resource for finding the right places to get what you need.

Other areas of support include:

doing light housework (tidying, vacuuming, etc.)
making meals
providing evidence-based information on all things newborn/postpartum
promoting self-care
advocating for the mother
helping siblings adjust
referring to additional support in all topics baby/mom
As your Postnatal doula I don’t do things like offer medical advice, provide medical care, or speak for the mother or family on any medical matters.

Instead, I provide the information, resources, and support you in your decision making. If I can’t help you, I can help you find someone who can.
