I am a DONA trained Postpartum Doula and Trageschule certified Babywearing Consultant and my own personal journey as a mum of 3 and seeing first hand that there is a real absence of support for new families in the postpartum period was the catalyst for my training and pursuit of postpartum work.
I love that the basis of a Postpartum Doula is to support families from an emotional, practical and social perspective, helping to build early attachment with the baby, mothering the mother and providing support with siblings or other family members.
I am an advocate of supporting breastfeeding mums, building early bonds and infant and maternal mental health because I believe that this is where we are seeing a shortfall in services and society is paying a price.
I also works as a Trageschule Babywearing Consultant teaching parents and caregivers how to safely and comfortably wear their baby, I have a sling library where parents can come try out and rent slings.
