POSTPARTUM DOULA

Please know that I do NOT work postpartum shifts on weekends, as my weekends are reserved for my Birthing Clients.

· You will have reasonable access to me via phone, email & text throughout the postpartum period for the purposes of the contract’s duration.

· Breastfeeding support to assist you with your feeding journey.

· Support with emotional and physical recovery after birth.

· Light housekeeping to help you maintain a tidy home environment.

Disclaimer notice:

Please know that my Birthing Clients take priority, as birth is unpredictable, and all appointments may be cancelled on short notice. Every effort will be made to inform you via phone, text, or email in advance of the situation.
