What Is a Postpartum Doula?

 A postpartum doula is a professional with credible experience and training in the first year after childbirth.


 Bringing home a new baby is an unpredictable and overwhelming experience. We are prepared to support you through physical and emotional recovery after birth, the challenges of caring for a newborn and the many adjustments during this time of life. 


Studies have shown that postpartum doula care can help in the following ways:

  • Reduced postpartum mood and anxiety disorders
  • Improved breastfeeding success


Our clients have also reported:

  • Increased confidence in caring for their baby
  • Improved bonding with baby
  • A more peaceful transition into parenting
  • Decreased stress
  • Increase in overall satisfaction of the postpartum experience


We understand that choosing a doula is a very personal decision. We are happy to offer you a free, in person, consultation so you can decide if Great Lakes Doulas is the right fit for you.
