Postpartum Doula Services
There is simply no experience on earth that compares to welcoming a child into a family. The love that explodes within us is more abundant than any love we’ve ever known. We are instantly filled with gratitude, joy, awe, excitement, wonderment, concern, worry, and…. When we least expect it… Overwhelm. We want to first say, these are ALL normal feelings and if you have already had your baby and you are experiencing them, you are not alone.
Edmonton Area Family Doulas is comprised of the most skilled professional doulas available. Our doulas are globally certified, and committed to the highest level of ongoing education. We are dedicated to staying current on all evidence surrounding the postpartum recovery experience as well as newborn care practices and safety recommendations.
We are your “EXTRA!”
Your extra set of eyes:
Parenthood comes with a steep learning curve. Even the most experienced parents have moments of uncertainty when it comes to the health and happiness of their little ones. With the eyes of your seasoned doula by your side, you’ll have the wisdom and insight of their years of training, research, and real-time experience. Nothing will slip through the cracks!
Your extra set of hands:
It takes time, patience, and practice to latch a baby at the breast. To mix a bottle with one hand while holding your little one in the other. Then there’s the dishes, and the meals, and the bathing, and the laundry, and the crying… Oh, the crying… Having the expert hands of an Edmonton Area Family Doula with you in real-time, can feel literally life saving!
Your extra set of ears:
This postpartum, new baby experience is a tough one. Between the fluctuating hormones, lack of sleep, and the always changing demands of a newborn baby are more than enough to put most new parents on edge. Your doula is there to listen; to validate and affirm. Lean on them for support knowing that they are a safe space that understands what you are experiencing.
