Don't just survive your postpartum. Thrive in it.

The postpartum months are a transformational time. Postpartum recovery and parenting is not always how you expected it to be and may come with questions, uncertainty, and feeling overwhelmed.

As you bond with your baby and discover yourself as a parent, the Harmony Doula Group is there to provide experienced, holistic, and practical support for the whole family to set your early parenting journey off to a positive start.

Our goals are to:

• be a listening ear when you need one
• give you space and time to heal
• help you to look after yourself as you look after your baby
• nourish you physically and emotionally
• provide expertise and gentle, patient advice and suggestions
• understand and validate your intuitive abilities
• ultimately, help you feel comfortable and confident as a parent

"We felt supported every step of the way, and especially loved that the Harmony Doula team were there to answer any question (big or small!). Having a doula was KEY to an easier, less stressful recovery!" - Jamie

Our postpartum doula services are tailored to your unique needs from day to day (or night to night). Our doula support takes a collaborative approach. We listen to your values, hopes, and needs. We work together to support you in a way that you choose, so that you can have the most positive and empowered postpartum experience.
