Doula support around the birth.

What is a birth doula?

A doula provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a birthing person during labor and delivery. A doula supports the laboring person’s partner and aids in communication between providers in the birth team.

What is a postpartum doula?

According to the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA):
The postpartum doula is a trained professional who offers physical, emotional, and spiritual support to a new mother and the rest of the family. The main objective of the postpartum doula’s role is not to take over complete care of the newborn, but to educate and support the family so that they will feel empowered to care for their newborn themselves.

​
Postpartum care takes place in the comfort of your home and to help ease the transition in this emotional stage of your life.


As a Certified Postpartum Doula, Jaime can provide non-medical care, non-judgmental guidance, baby care basics, emotional support, breastfeeding or bottlefeeding support, maternal mentoring, light household chores, light meal and snack preparation, sibling and parent education, resources and referrals, all while nurturing the family within the first three months of the baby's birth.

Why hire a doula?

Hiring a doula after the birth of a child can:
  • Reduce stress
  • Reduce depressive symptoms and anxiety
  • Increase perceived sense of control
  • Lead to better maternal responsiveness and competence

Birth & Bereavement Doula supports families:
  • experiencing birth
  • enduring bereavement
  • facing any event where birth & bereavement may meet

As a Certified Birth & Bereavement Doula, Jaime can provide support before, during, and after labor in any trimester.
