What can you expect when purchasing this video series?

As a postpartum doula, I have cared for countless families in my six years of practice. When I became too busy to take most of the families that needed my services, I decided to start making note of all the things that I share with most clients. After many months of creating notes, and receiving feedback from dozens of moms, midwives, doulas, pediatric providers, and OBGYNs, I have compiled this material to help families preparing to welcome a baby into their home! 

In this series, I will be covering a wide array of material, including: 

  • How to prepare for baby mentally and emotionally to protect your mental health during this transition to parenthood. 
  • Ways to set yourself up for connecting and bonding well with baby
  • The essentials you will need for the first few weeks and months of bringing baby home
  • Recipes and other insights on how to care for your postpartum body
  • Baby care basics such as diaper changing, burping, baby wearing, sleep habits, etc.
  • And a host of other materials 


I hope you enjoy!
