Postpartum Doula

Postpartum doulas works closely with mothers who have just given birth and support them with housework and childcare. I provide continuous my one-on-one care, as well as physical and emotional support. 

Deep rest is a mother's most essential work post-birth, to recover and heal.

Postpartum confinement is a traditional practice following childbirth in many countries. Among Southeast Asian and East Asian cultures, mothers spend 20 to 30 days, and in some countries up to 40 days, indoors, avoiding physical activity, eating a restorative diet, and deeply resting. 

Although it may not be visible to be naked eyes, childbirth causes the pelvis to expand. The mother's body is undergoes significant strain and transformations, as the placenta detaches from the uterus following the birth. To support recovery 

- both physically and emotionally - it is important for the mother to rest, to remain idle and leave household tasks to others. 

 

However, in today's fast-paced society, many mothers struggle to take the rest they need. New parents often lack nearby relatives or friends to offer support, making it difficult to manage both housework and childcare after birth.  This growing need has led to the emergence of postpartum doulas. 

After giving birth, be sure to ask someone for help.

Postpartum support is essential for recovery from birth, nurturing a new mother's mental well-being, and ensuring the newborn is well cared for.  I encourage you to embrace postpartum care services so you can truly thrive during this sacred time, both physically and mentally. 

My mission is to shower mothers with love and care.

After giving birth, mothers do everything they can to care for their babies. Even when they’re exhausted or overwhelmed,  they often push through without a break.

As a postpartum doula, my mission is to stand by and support these incredible mothers. I'm here not only to help with household tasks and childcare but also to be a listening ear - a source of comfort and reassurance. I truly believe that when mothers receive the care and love they deserve, they can nurture their children with even more love and kindness. 

Postpartum Planning : from Recovery  to Embracing Your New Family Unit

Planning for the postpartum period - known as Postpartum Planning - is an important step in ensuring a smooth transition into life with your new baby.

To create a plan that truly supports you, we start by understanding your unique family situation, including the support available to you, your partner's work schedule, and any older children in the home.

Rather than placing the burden solely on the mother, I encourage couples to approach this time together, embracing their new family dynamic as a team.

My goal is to help make this beautiful phase of life not just manageable, but truly enjoyable, so that you can focus on bonding with your baby with confidence and peace of mind. 

What I offer : My primary focus is to support new mothers in getting the rest and nourishment they need and deserve during the postpartum period.

  • Take care of the baby while the mother is resting/sleeping/bathing.

  • Cooking and food preparation. (I make sure the mother takes nutritional food.)

  • Light house duties. (cleaning, tidying up etc..)

  • Laundry duties 

  • Emotional and mental support.

  • Reflexology treatments are also available upon request.

  • In addition to caring for your baby such as bathing, nursing support, and nappy changes, I can also assist with older children, including preparing their meals and looking after them. 

We'll work together to plan your postpartum experience, tailoring the level and frequency of support to fit your family's needs.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. 

My goal is to help create a smooth and supported transition into life with your new baby.
