So, what do you do?
A postpartum doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and practical support to mothers during the fourth trimester. Unlike medical professionals, a doula focuses on nurturing the mother—offering guidance on newborn care, feeding support, and gentle encouragement to help you heal and adjust. Think of it as having a knowledgeable, caring companion by your side, ensuring you feel supported, confident, and never alone in your postpartum journey.
​
I am proudly DONA trained & I am exciting to now be working towards my DONA-certification. I am trained to provide compassionate, evidence-based postpartum support to help mothers feel nurtured, empowered, and confident in their fourth trimester.
​
You can find a snippet of what support is included in my sessions below. I can also support with general newborn care, integrating baby into the family/with siblings, the impact of birth on postpartum, planning for postpartum and loss & grief.
All sessions are of course tailored to you. No two mamas, or families, are the same.
Postpartum Mental Health
The fourth trimester can be an emotional rollercoaster. I offer a listening ear, reassurance, and strategies to help you navigate baby blues, postpartum anxiety, or overwhelm.
Postpartum Physical Changes
Your body goes through a lot after birth. I support your healing journey by offering advice on recovery, nutrition, gentle movement, and self-care, so you can feel your best as you adjust to life with your baby.
Sleep
Newborn sleep is unpredictable, but I can help you understand newborn sleep patterns, create gentle routines, and offer strategies to support better rest for both you and your baby—without unrealistic expectations or pressure. You also need to sleep - I can care for baby whilst you rest.
Breast & Bottle Feeding
Whether you choose to breastfeed, bottle-feed, or both, I provide guidance on latch techniques, positioning, milk supply, safe formula preparation, and troubleshooting common feeding concerns—ensuring a stress-free experience for you and your baby.
Resources and referrals
If you need extra support, I can connect you with trusted lactation consultants, pelvic floor specialists, mental health professionals, and other postpartum experts in Dubai, ensuring you have a well-rounded support system.
