Following the anticipation of pregnancy and the work of labor comes the journey of welcoming your baby into your family and home. This journey can be filled with excitement but can also come with challenges. Having an experienced trained postpartum doula at your side can help your journey go smoothly.
All families are unique and the services provided vary from family to family and often from day to day as needs change, we maintain flexibility and adapt services to meet your family’s needs. All services are non judgmental and supportive of your parenting choices. We aim to help you develop into the parents you want to be.
Services that can be included are:
Meet Joanne and Michele
It is very important for you to meet with your postpartum doula and ensure you get on well together as those first few weeks are very precious.
We offer a complimentary 30-minute visit to meet Joanne or Michele and discuss your family’s needs.
Packages
Although we operate on a first come first served basis we will always do our best to help all the families who contact us. Please book as early as possible to guarantee you get the services you require as we limit the number of families we have in order to offer you the highest standard of quality and flexibility.
Bookings may be possible at short notice, please call 503 567 2449 for more information.

'Joanne's Infant Massage Class was an incredibly rewarding experience for me and my son, and even better, it led us to Joanne! She has given me valuable advice on breast feeding, my son's weight gain, and introducing solid foods. Joanne really understands the kind of support that moms need; she is non-judgmental and completely supportive. I'm really not sure who I would've talked to about all of these questions if I hadn't met Joanne, and I'm so grateful that I took her class!'
