Postpartum is a time for you to R.E.S.T
I absolutely love being a Postpartum Doula, but the one thing that has always bothered me is that in our country we don’t have a clear path to postpartum recovery. As doulas, we are trained to support people where they are. But I think they need more. I have developed a Postpartum Recovery System called R.E.S.T. Which means when we work together, we will work a specific program that encourages establishing good practices for Recovery, Systems, Sleep and Tending.
Recover, Rest, Reset.
Your postpartum time should be a time of resting, recovery, and resetting life to a new normal rhythm. The type of support I offer is unique in that it is a program that we will discuss during our initial consultation. During each shift, I will be:
Providing you regular daytime support through preparing healing foods and teas that support your physical recovery.
Holding space for you as I listen to your needs, fears and desires as a new mother/parent. I will also check in with you regularly to be sure your mental health is supported and offer connections to local resources if needed.
Helping you learn to care for your baby whether it’s diapering, soothing, feeding, bathing. I’m here to help you with all the “firsts”, giving you my best tips and tricks and evidence-based support.
Allowing you time to rest, whether it is taking a nap or a scheduled overnight shift, we work together to determine what is best for you.
Tending to you and your baby are my passion and priority.

Support that’s an investment in yourself and your family.
With so much outward pressure on a new mother to plan for the birth and to have the “right things” for a new baby, it’s hard to prioritize where the true needs are. Postpartum Doula services is a great investment in building confidence in yourself as new parents as well as getting that much needed rest and recovery time!
What People Are Saying
“Suzanne is truly a dream - in our house, we call her "Snoozeanne"! Having a resource to care for me and my baby daughter and help us both get a great nights sleep was such a gift. She LOVES babies and looked after the wellbeing of everyone in our family. Her nightly reports were full of helpful tidbits and she is an excellent non-biased resource for information. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an evening of sleep and reassurance.”
