This past weekend, I completed my training as a post-partum doula with DONA and I am now able to offer this type of support to families in the Lethbridge area.
A post-partum doula is trained and experienced in meeting a new family’s needs for household help, meal preparation, advice and assistance with newborn care and feeding, and allowing time for the new mother to rest.” (From Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn, 5th edition).
