    Post Partum Doula

    Tara from Empowering Mothers talks to us about the importance of providing support to new families.  Support can come from many sources in many different ways: partners, family and friends helping with meals, laundry and holding bubba while mum takes a shower.  Sometimes though it is awesome to have someone not too close, who can be asked to do anything - and that someone could be a post-partum doula. Tara's goal as a post-partum doula is to help a new mum enjoy the fourth trimester by providing  emotional, physical, informative, and practical support. This is to ensure that mama feels supported, cared about, rested, fed and empowered.
