“The sun is always there, even when we’re turned around. Just by changing our direction, we can enjoy the sunshine at any time.”
― Suh Yoon Lee
 
Now that you have safely returned home with your most precious cargo, a new journey begins. Oftentimes, new parents are riddled with self-doubt, and have their fears heightened by stories of the intensely tumultuous nature of the postpartum period. It’s possible that fluctuating hormones, changing schedules, new family dynamics, and lack of sleep can have you twirling like a tornado. 
 
You may be feeling like if the thunder doesn’t get you, the lightning will...
 
Breathe, because that just isn’t so. You don’t have to feel unprepared or unsupported, and your family doesn’t have to make this start alone. Remember, an expertly trained, educated, compassionate doula will be with you, in your home, to calm the storm, and brighten your horizon.
 
Whether you seek reassurance, and partnership during a short day shift, or you are yearning for a full 8 hours of sleep at night, all of it is possible.
 
Sunrise, and Sunset shifts can vary from 4 hours to 8 hours or more. During this time much can be accomplished; a restoration of self-confidence, conquering the burden of household tasks, nutritious meals healthfully prepared, your baby securely swaddled and sleeping, and your selfcare critically achieved.

What Our Clients Are Saying

​"Kristle provided postpartum services for me after I went through a very traumatic birth. She would come by and discuss resources as well as help me with anything needed. She is kind, considerate and a great listener who offers advice in a non judgmental way. Her presence was a highlight of my week and I am grateful to have had her be a part of my journey"
