The Bayside Doula: personalised support
in pregnancy, postpartum and all stages of motherhood
What is a Postpartum Doula?
Postpartum refers to a woman’s ‘time after childbirth,’ with no defined duration. In my opinion, it lasts as long as a mother needs extra support…so maybe forever? You may have heard the term ‘The Fourth Trimester,’ and this is a good place to start.
A postpartum doula is a professional, trained to support a mother from pregnancy and through postpartum. During pregnancy, a doula will help you create a calm and nurturing environment to reduce stress on your already hard-working body and to plan and prepare for early motherhood.
During the first three months after childbirth, it is crucial to allow mothers ample time and rest to promote healing, breastmilk production, and bonding with their new babies. A postpartum doula lightens the load to help this happen.
Beyond the
Fourth Trimester
Mothers Helper
Mothering doesn't get easier after the newborn stage. It just changes. The needs shift, the juggle intensifies, and somehow you're expected to have it all sorted.
My Mother’s Helper service is practical, hands-on support for mothers at any stage of motherhood. Help that meets you in the everyday chaos: meal prep, laundry, tidying, body-doubling, witching hour support, and household management.
It's the kind of gentle, respectful support you deserve - someone to show up and get stuck in, without you needing to explain why it's hard.
The weight of modern motherhood is more than one person can hold. Let me take some of the load.
