What do you would you like to know about doula care?

09/08/2026

When people think of doula care, they commonly think of birth and babies. But full-spectrum doula care means honoring all phases of your reproductive health journey—including the parts that feel overwhelming or scary. As a full-spectrum doula, I help clients become experts about their own bodies, and that means listening to what your body is communicating through every season of life, not only during pregnancy and birth.

September is Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month, an important reminder to slow down, listen to our bodies, and advocate for our reproductive health. Things like postpartum shifts or busy mom life can make changes more difficult to notice.

These are 5 signs your body may be communicating that something is in need of more attention. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it warrants a conversation with your healthcare provider to get to the root of what's going on:
✨ Irregular or unusual vaginal bleeding (outside your typical cycle or postpartum norms)
✨ Persistent pain or pressure in the pelvis or lower back
✨ Bloating that doesn't go away
✨ Ongoing changes in your bathroom habits
✨ Changes to the v***a (like color shifts, itching, or sores)

Practice being the expert on your own body, if your body is telling you something Is off, don't ignore it. I encourage you to book annual check-ups and well-woman visits, ask questions, and advocate for the care you deserve. If you'd like support building your body literacy or getting comfortable advocating for yourself, I'm here to help.💜

Did you know that PCOS has a new name? 🔄

What was formerly Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom has officially been changed to PMOS—Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The new name finally reflects what women dealing with it have always known-- it’s not just a menstrual cycle problem, it affects the way the entire body functions.
Being a full-spectrum doula means I hold space for all reproductive health events, including the chronic health journeys (like PMOS) that shape them. Sending love to everyone in our community navigating PMOS this September and every month.

✨If you'd like to know more about the full-spectrum support I offer, check out my website or send me a DM. ✨

One of the key ways I can support my clients postpartum is by helping them stay well-nourished. These are 5 tips I share with my clients:

1. Set yourself up for success! Stock up on dry and canned goods that you use often before baby arrives. If you have items on hand that can easily be made into a quick meal, you'll be less likely to skip essential nourishment.

2. Prepare your food in large batches. Whether you're cooking before birth, or someone else is in the early days after, making extra is a great strategy. You can freeze leftovers in convenient portions to have quick meals later.

3. Don't skip meals! When you're sleep deprived and caring for a newborn It can be easy to forget to take care of yourself, but it's critical that you get the calories and nutrition you need to heal!

4. Get plenty of fiber. Pregnancy and birth can really disrupt your digestion. Getting lots of gentle fiber in your diet during early postpartum can help you get things back on track. Cooked whole grains and gently stewed fruit are great for this! Try oatmeal with banana or berries.

5. Include carbohydrates, fat, and protein in all of your meals and snacks when it's possible. It will help keep you full longer and maintain the energy you need for healing and milk production (if you're nursing).

BONUS TIP: Hire a postpartum doula to help you at home after baby arrives! We can make meal suggestions, prepare meals for you, remind you to hydrate, and make sure you get uninterrupted meal times!

In honor of 🐶, here are some fun facts about dogs, pregnancy & labor:

Dogs can detect pregnancy through smell, perhaps before you even know you're pregnant!

Dogs are also great labor detectives, hormonal shifts often tip them off before outwardly noticeable signs of labor.

And did you know that dogs can be great labor companions? Petting or snuggling with your fur baby releases oxytocin and lowers cortisol, which are both key for calming your nervous system and optimizing labor, pretty cool right?!

Both of my dogs kept a protective eye on me during pregnancy and labor. And then they both transitioned to wonderful baby watchdogs once my son was born. The 🐕 I have now is also has the patience of a saint with my son and she is my constant coworker!
