Pink Skies Doula Care
What is a doula?
A postpartum doula provides emotional, physical, and practical support to families after childbirth, helping parents adjust and thrive during their early weeks with their baby. Basically, we are a trained "village," there to support you. A few things you can expect during time with Markie can include:​ ​
~Mom care - is she fed? Hydrated? Calm, clean, rested, bonding with baby, stressed, overwhelmed, happy, healing, contacting her providers and support people?
~Spouse - how to check on Mom? Is he fed, clean, rested, caring for baby, bonding, stressed?
~Basic baby care - occasional feedings, diapering, calming strategies
~Sibling help and transition
~ Provider referrals
~Basic meal prep, light housecleaning and laundry
~Foot bath with epsom salts, heating pad
I'd love to meet you.
