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, we can help you to not feel alone and unsure. We nurture you, mothering the mother 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.
