Having a new baby is a big change. Doula service can help!
Postpartum Doulas are experts on welcoming new babies home. Our team of doulas has helped hundreds of families adjust to newborn life, supported them with breastfeeding and bottle feeding, assisted them with practical care of the home during the postpartum period, and helped them rest and recover after birth. In addition to daytime postpartum care, we also offer overnight care for families who need more rest (especially popular with our twins and triplets families!)
Is postpartum doula service for you?
Wondering if postpartum doula service is the right fit for your family? On our site you will find some more information about the ABC story and how we came to do this work together, what services we offer, and a few of the places we recommend as resources for families. You can also read all about our doulas on our doula team page, and what our clients have said about us in client comments .
Do you offer classes as well?
Yes! We offer newborn care classes for expectant parents at Zenana Spa, as well as privately in client homes. In these classes you will learn all the newborn care skills needed for welcoming a new baby…and get all the doula secrets thrown in.
For those families expecting twins, we also offer a special twin class through Providence Health System. More details about both of our newborn classes can be found on our Classes Page.
If you are thinking about becoming a postpartum doula, Kimberly provides doula trainings through CAPPA both locally and in neighboring states. See our Classes page for more details.
Need more sleep?
Postpartum doulas support families in getting rest in many ways. We can set up a safe sleep environment that helps newborns and their parents get the most sleep possible. Your doula will focus on the practical tasks around the house so you can rest when the baby sleeps (and still ‘magically’ get the chores done!). Doulas can also care for babies while parents nap or take care of personal needs or provide overnight care for those families who are just too exhausted to function well during the day. For babies who are having difficulty sleeping we now offer sleep consultations – see Our Services for details.

- Choosing a Birth Doula? December 4, 2011Many families ask me the following questions about choosing a birth doula: Do we need one? How do we pick one? And who do you recommend?

- Much requested: Warm Spinach Salad recipe November 17, 2011This recipe is a client favorite, and so welcome this time of year.

Fall is such a fun time to cook […]
