Postpartum Doula Services​

If your heart's desire is to cherish the first days & weeks - easing your transition into parenthood.... while receiving nurturing care combined with postpartum wisdom.... I invite you to explore Ecstatic Birth ™ postpartum doula care with me.
The first weeks following birth are a time for recovery & bonding. Babies go through enormous changes adapting to life outside the womb and need plenty of holding & love. For both first time and experienced mothers, being taken care of while caring for their newborn is essential!

"Debra provided great postpartum support when we came home from the hospital. I was struggling with getting established with breastfeeding and she was able to reassure me and help me get on track almost immediately. Debra clearly is a wealth of knowledge and was able to provide sound insight to my many questions. Thank you!"  Katie
