My Postpartum Doula Tells All - Katie from Life in Bloom Wellness

The New Mamas Podcast

My daughter, Evelyn, was born last week on November 27th! I recorded this episode with my postpartum doula, Katie, back in October. I'm super excited for her to start with our family next week!
Katie is a mom of four and a postpartum doula who is passionate about health and wellness.
In this episode, we talk about:

• What is a postpartum doula?
• What is a postpartum doula's most important job?
• What has Katie learned from her own motherhood experience that she takes into doula care.
• How far in advance should someone book a postpartum doula?
• How much does it cost to hire a postpartum doula?
• How long does “postpartum” last? How long can a family hire a postpartum doula for?
• How does she talk to moms who she recognizes might have some postpartum anxiety or even postpartum depression symptoms?
• Where she notices families need the most help
• How much a postpartum doula costs
