The Role of a Postpartum Doula
The role of a Postpartum Doula is to mother the mother. A Postpartum Doula provides non-judgmental emotional, physical and informational support following the birth of your baby. A Postpartum Doula will be there to care for the mother specifically therefore allowing you to care for your baby. Naturally, there will be times when you require to take a nap or take a quick shower where they will care for your baby.
We have a team of certified Postpartum Doulas available for interview who are there to support you and your family. Their aim is to nurture the family and allow you to build up the self confidence in a non-judgmental atmosphere where advice and reassurance is available whenever required.
When you deliver your newborn baby, you can feel very vulnerable. Some empathy, a hug, or even sharing a joke can make the world of difference. In addition, our Doulas are understanding – they know exactly what you and your baby need. They help you with soothing techniques, breastfeeding and understanding of your newborn’s behavior. They can also help the whole family adjust to the new arrival, providing support to siblings, partners and even grandparents.
From the moment she stepped into our home, Juliet brought a sense of calm, warmth, and gentle confidence that made the chaos of new parenthood with twins feel manageable—even beautiful. She supported me through the most vulnerable and transformative weeks of my life with such kindness, respect, and grace.
She cared for my babies with genuine love and attentiveness, and somehow managed to care for me, too—whether it was making sure I had eaten, encouraging me when I was overwhelmed, or simply being a steady, reassuring presence during long, emotional days. Her knowledge and intuition were invaluable, but what made her truly special was how she showed up—not just as a doula, but as a friend.
The Singer Family from TorontoHeileen was an absolute lifesaver during our first month of being new parents! From the moment she arrived, her calming and kind demeanor made us feel comfortable and at ease. She was incredibly helpful overnight, allowing us to get some much-needed rest while she took care of the baby, helped with feedings, sterilized pump parts, and even folded laundry. We also had a little puppy at the time, and Heileen was so accommodating, making the whole experience even more pleasant. We couldn’t have asked for a better night doula!
The D’Souza family from Milton, ONI wasn’t sure about the idea of having a postpartum doula, but now that I’ve had Karla around, I wish every new parent could this experience! Karla has been amazing. She knows exactly what a new mom needs without ever asking, from refilling water bottles, making me a snack, helping prep dinner, changing diapers, washing baby laundry or light tidying. She was amazing with my infant daughter, and often got her down for naps, or entertained her when she was awake. All of this is to say, the mental and physical break she provided allowed me to be a better mom to my preschooler and my baby. So happy to have had Karla as part of my postpartum journey this time.
