What Is a Postpartum Doula?

A postpartum doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to mothers and families during the postpartum period.

This care helps ease the transition into parenthood, promotes recovery, and supports the overall well-being of both mother and baby.

The First Forty Days

I’m a strong advocate for the traditional practice of “The First Forty Days,” observed in many cultures including the Latin American cuarentena.
This sacred 40-day period focuses on rest, recovery, nourishment, and bonding with your newborn.

By embracing this time of stillness and care, supported by family, community, and healing therapies mothers experience deeper physical recovery, emotional stability, and overall well-being.
