Frequently asked questions

Hey lovely, let’s break it down: what exactly is a postpartum doula? ✨ Think of me as your ride-or-die postpartum sidekick. I’m not here to boss you around, lecture you, or tell you how to parent. Nope. My job is to show up, support, and make life just a little bit easier while you navigate the wild ride of early motherhood. Here’s the lowdown on what I actually do: • Nourish & nurture: Cook you a wholesome meal, make a cup of tea that doesn’t go cold before you take a sip, or even hand you snacks you didn’t realise you needed. • Baby whispering: I’ll cuddle, soothe, and settle your bub so you can shower, nap, or just breathe without feeling guilty. • Birth & postpartum processing: Want to chat about your birth, your body, or your emotions? I’ve got a calm, judgement-free ear and some practical tools to help you feel heard and supported. • Parenting confidence booster: I help partners and parents feel capable and involved without turning your life upside down. • Practical support & life hacks: Laundry, light tidying, routines, or just helping you figure out the million tiny things that pop up when you have a newborn. Basically, a postpartum doula is your personal “post-baby survival guide” with a sprinkle of fun, a dash of sanity-saving magic, and zero judgement. I help you thrive, not just survive, so you can actually enjoy these messy, magical early days.

Super easy! Just hit me up for a free chat - we’ll see if we vibe, talk about what you need, and figure out the best way I can support you. Once we’re both excited, we’ll lock in your sessions and get ready to make your postpartum life a whole lot smoother (and way more fun). 📩 You can message me directly via mothered.doula@gmail.com OR follow and DM me on instagram: mothered.doula

Short answer: nope - you can survive early motherhood without one. But let’s be real… “survive” and “actually enjoy” are two very different things. 😅 Having a postpartum doula is like having your own personal hype squad, life-saver, and calm-in-the-chaos expert rolled into one. I help you eat, sleep (even a little), process the emotional roller coaster, and feel like you’re not in it alone. Basically, I make the first weeks and months less exhausting, less lonely, and more magical - and yes, it’s totally worth it if you want to actually breathe and enjoy your baby instead of just surviving.

You march on down to them and tell them: "Babe - think of a postpartum doula as hiring a sanity-saver, chef, and baby-whisperer all in one - basically, an investment in me, you, and our sleep. Totally worth it". 😎✨
