POSTPARTUM DOULA

Since, 2010 Down to Earth Birth Services has been committed to providing family centered care during pregnancy, birth, and the "fourth trimester".  Whether this is your first baby or fifth, we tailor our support to your needs and wishes.
We understand that there is nothing quite like settling into your nest with your new babe.  You want to welcome this little person into your world.. but everything is feeling a bit unfamiliar.  It takes time to adjust as a family and get your basic care and day to day routines in place.  Feeding, diapering, soothing and snuggling feels like a full time job- and then there is the other stuff like laundry, meal time, errands, etc.  It can feel overwhelming to learn how to care for and bond with this very new human, while also maintaining your own self care/home/life.

We provide in home postpartum doula care to nurture you and your family as you find your "new normal."  Your rest and recovery from birth is important, so we make sure you and your family's needs are being met, both physically and emotionally.  We understand that along with the new baby bliss, there is the challenge of a major life transition.

When you feel taken care of, it is that much easier to meet the needs of your precious family.  Postpartum doula care is more than just an extra set of hands for dishes and laundry (but we do that too!), it is skilled, holistic care for your whole family.  ​
