Creating a human inside you is an experience like no other. It is a profound experience that takes amazing physical and mental strength. I can be there for you in the first days and weeks after birth to help you rest, recover, nourish, heal and document this special time for you.

What does a postpartum doula do?


A postpartum doula provides emotional and physical support after baby arrives. My postpartum doula services look like caring for baby while you rest or focus on your self-care, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning the kitchen, helping with laundry, or even just being an ear to talk to.


In the weeks after birth, a new mom's body and heart need a few simple things: extended rest, warm nourishing foods, gentle touch and massage, the company of women who understand, and time outside in nature. Whether that means a nourishing meal and some herbal tea by a sunny window, a walk with me and baby, or a nap and a shower, it all supports your wellbeing as you recover.

As a postpartum doula serving families in Pittsboro, Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Durham and surrounding areas, I've supported new parents since 2019. My visits happen right in your home, so you can rest, eat well and recover while someone you trust cares for your baby and your household. Every family is different. Some need help with newborn care and feeding questions, others want a warm meal and a few hours of sleep. Together we'll figure out what the first weeks should look like for you.

Testimonial
Suzanne was our PP doula the first couple weeks after the birth of our son. It’s an understatement to say the best part of he experience was that Suzanne is a real, grounded, and down to earth person that made us feel safe and supported in a vulnerable new time in our lives. She cooked us nourishing meals, taught my husband how to do everything needed while I was in bed healing, kept laundry going, our kitchen clean, bottles and pump parts sanitized and so much more. Her flexibility in scheduling and her adaptability from each shift was so wonderful and again took pressure off us in such a new time. The way she cared for our son when we needed to catch up on sleep was incredible too, that level of trust and safety is priceless. We could not recommend Suzanne more and the incredible photos she takes is just the cherry on top. We will be forever grateful to the love and support and memories! Jen T
