In traditional cultures, men and women grow up surrounded by birth, breastfeeding and children. In almost all non-western societies, 40 days after the birth is seen as absolutely necessary for full recuperation, and community members provide strong social support during that time.

Our intent is to be part of that "tribe" for the modern family by providing sensitive postpartum home care, developing relationships, and strengthening connections to the community at large. More than a baby nurse or mother's helper, our goal as postpartum doulas is to honor the needs and abilities of new mothers and to support them in following their instincts and meeting their children's needs.

We value each family's experience as their own and respect the choices they make for themselves. We help ensure that mama and baby are happily connected, and help all family members integrate the new baby with greater confidence, health and self-esteem by offering compassionate emotional support and practical assistance.
