A doula is a professional trained in childbirth who provides emotional, physical, educational and spiritual support to a birthing woman in pregnancy, birth and beyond. The doula’s purpose is to support the birth giver to have a safe, memorable and empowering birthing experience.
A Postpartum Doula is meant to support the mother in this early stages of this journey; providing the care, attention and nurturance that will allow both for her body to heal and for the newborn baby and her to establish the deep and loving connection that is very much needed by them both.
Our Postpartum Doula will make sure both mother and child are being cared for and that their physiological and emotional needs are being fulfilled. Our Doula will help create the perfect environment so that this immeasurably special time in both the mother & child’s life is exactly what they need it to be.
Giving birth is one of most transformative experiences in a woman’s life and every woman deserves having the right and best team by their side.
The evidence shows that when a Doula provides continuous support in labour, the birth outcomes for both mother and baby are more likely to be better and the post-partum period more healthy.
In ancient cultures women used to birth with a doula, or an elder who were able to support them in this sacred time due to their knowledge and wisdom of labour and delivery, and because of their capacity to create safe space for them to be confident and trust themselves to birth their baby.
Benefits during Birth:
Long term benefits:
Sole was 100% present with me. It felt very natural to have sister energy to support me. I don’t think I would have been able to be as vulnerable with another as I was with Sole. I felt seen, safe and loved. She was insightful with the procedures that women are encouraged to have by standard healthcare providers. She has a very good eye for quality herbs, Ayurveda protocols, diet and lifestyle for pregnant and postpartum women. She is someone who lives what she does, honoring her own body as a clear channel. That’s the kind of person I want to receive physical and spiritual guidance from during a sacred time. My wish is that all women have the support, love and presence during their pregnancy as I was given by Sole.
So very grateful to have the opportunity to work with the wonderful Sole through our birth and post partum planning. As I’m in another country our sessions are virtual, but feels very much like in person. Sole is wonderfully engaging, knowledgeable and thorough. Both Myself and my husband were asked to think about areas of both birth and postpartum that we’d never considered and that have now formed integral parts of the journey.
Sole was my Doula for my first baby this year. She supported me through the process beautifully, I felt supported mentally & physically through out and I would highly recommend her. I chose to use the supporting herbs recommended and postpartum diet, which also was a huge benefit. My milk supply came through really well and Phoenix is very calm and grounded.
Even when fully remote, Sole has an incredibly special nurturing energy. I had digital consults with Sole throughout my second pregnancy and I’m so glad I did. From the recommendations for staying balanced and supported through the pregnancy, to the recommendations for herbs to take. She also picked up on my deeper instincts and encouraged me to explore them. If it wasn’t for Sole I would not have been so well prepared – both in expressing my desires and understanding how to handle the unique way in which the birth unfolded.
