Immediate Postpartum Services:
I contact you by telephone the day after delivery, or even sooner if you had breastfeeding problems immediately postpartum. I keep in touch to see how you are feeling and if you need any help. If you are having breastfeeding issues, I visit the hospital to assist you.
During the first week postpartum, I visit you with a birth story so that you will have a personal record of your baby's birth. At that visit, I give you a packet of information which is useful for new parents. We discuss the birth itself. For many parents, the whole process goes by in a bit of a blur. I also talk about issues which you may encounter like colic, sleeping, etc. I provide referral information for new Tucson families.
Because your figure has become stretched out of shape, I give you simple exercises to get your figure back. If you wish, I can provide a more extensive exercise regimen for later on.
Because 20 percent of new mothers experience some form of postpartum depression, from mild to severe, I teach you and your partner how to recognize the signs. I give you referrals to sources of help, just in case you should need them.
As a postpartum doula certified in assisting new mothers with PPD, I can come to your home to help you through this rocky period.

We offer comfort, guidance and one on one attention so necesary for a smooth transition from birth to Motherhood. We provide you with emotional support, help with baby care, practical advice and peace of mind.
