          Are you a first time parent-to-be?

          Do you wish you had helpful family in the area?

          Are you concerned about postpartum depression? Breastfeeding?

           

          Welcome to Loving the Fourth Trimester.

           

          As a postpartum doula, I believe that non-judgemental support, a deep understanding of postpartum issues and a desire to actively listen are essential in helping my clients reduce their stress and become confident new parents.

           

          Postpartum anxiety and depression is a real concern for many. The good news is that research shows that having the support of a postpartum doula reduces the risk.

           

          Eating healthy food is another important factor in postpartum healing. That's why I specialize in cooking delicious and nutritious vegetarian and gluten-free foods vital for the postpartum period.

           

          As a mother of three, I understand how stress inducing having a newborn can be. That's why with my hands-on support and guidance, I hope you will be Loving the Fourth Trimester with me. I look forward to chatting with you!
