What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula is non-medical support for the 4th trimester. A time that often can be stressful and uncertain, I can help you to not feel alone and unsure. I support & nurture you so that you can heal and feel confident in your role as mama.
Who am I?
Hello!
My name is Susan, & I am a Postpartum Doula & Breastfeeding Specialist.
I have raised four children & now have 3 grandchildren. I started on this journey to become a Postpartum Doula in 2021 because I remembered so vividly how overwhelming & stressful those first weeks are as a new mom & I wanted to help relieve that stress for women.
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.
Contact me for more information.
I would be excited to help you bring peace & joy to your 4th trimester.
