Who am I and why am I here?

Hello!
My name is Susan, & I am a Postpartum Doula & a certified Breastfeeding Specialist.
I have raised four children  & now have 3 grandchildren. 

Postpartum Kindler of Joy was created out of the heartfelt desire to help new mothers navigate the early days after giving birth. Whether a new mom or having your 4th child, the postpartum period, especially the first 2 weeks, is always full of challenges & new experiences. As a postpartum doula, I am there for you, the mom. I am there to advocate for you, to make sure you are able to rest as much as possible. I am there to help you with newborn care, breastfeeding or bottle feeding, light housework, sibling care, & baby laundry.

I am also very passionate about breastfeeding. With my first born I struggled with breastfeeding. I was not prepared for the difficulties that lay before me. So I learned all that I could about breastfeeding. And much later in life as my daughter was having her first child I decided to earn a certificate through Lactation Education Resources to help her & other mamas get through those challenges. I have come to believe that education about breastfeeding is one of the keys to success. If you choose to breastfeed, I am there to support you & help you in any way I am able. 

But no matter how you feed your baby, you mama, deserve postpartum support & to know you are not alone. 

As a Postpartum Doula I want to help you feel confident and cared for, rested and nourished. I want to help you feel joy in these early days.

I am able to serve Fargo, ND & Moorhead, MN & surrounding areas. 

I look forward to hearing from you & sharing with you how I might be able to help you in those early days.
