Postpartum Support
A postpartum doula helps the family during the postpartum period, the first few weeks, or the first few months after the baby is born.
Having a support system is crucial for mental and emotional well-being, especially during the postpartum period. While living in Berlin, friends and family may be around, but they might not always be readily available when you need them the most.
Your postpartum doula prioritizes your comfort and holistic health. Doulas serve as compassionate, non-judgemental listeners, and trustworthy professionals who stand by you throughout this transformative journey.
