Postpartum Doula

support for the family when baby comes home

The postpartum period is the single most important time in a birthing person's life; in modern times, it is also the single most neglected time in a birthing person's life. The postpartum doula can make this pivotal time an amazing time for healing and personal growth. Learn more about the role of the postpartum doula, and understand why we think you can't afford not to have one.


Families supported by a postpartum doula often report reduced instance postpartum mood disorders and improved breastfeeding success.


As a postpartum doula, I support cultural practices that can improve feelings around this crucial healing time. I incorporate universally traditional practices for postpartum recovery, such as belly binding, herbal baths, vaginal steaming, body rubs and nourishing foods..

We are so glad Leslie was our postpartum doula! We interviewed a couple of doulas and Leslie was by far the most knowledgeable and experienced - she has completed a lot of doulas trainings and it really shows in her work as she was able to provide us with great resources and guidance. I also appreciated her knowledge of non-Western postpartum traditions, including the Chinese tradition of “sitting the month” and her making me the appropriate food and drinks for that time period. Last of all Leslie is really kind and that is super helpful when you are a stressed postpartum mama. Thank you Leslie! It was great working with you. ❤️
