Postpartum care
Postpartum doula / postpartum care professional kes kindlustab selle, et kõik pereliikmed tunneksid end uue ilmakodaniku ja elukorraldusega kohanedes olulise ja hoituna. Aitan säilitada kodusoojust ja harmooniat nii emotsionaalsel kui füüsilisel tasandil. Olen olemas nähtamatu varju või aktiivse tegutsejana vastavalt sellele, millist abi pere hetkel kõige enam vajab. Austan ema ja beebi läheduse loomise vajadust, hoolitsedes selle eest, et ema ei peaks koormama end igapäevaste kohustustega.

Oma töös lähtun teadmistest, mis olen omandanud doulaõppes Eestis ja Postpartum Education and Care Professional (Newborn Mothers, AU) ning Conscious Postpartum Care with Ayurvedic Principles (Sacred Window Studies, USA) õppekavade raames. Mul on siiras soov muuta sünnitusjärgne periood kõigi pereliikmete jaoks kauniks ja helgeks läbi ennetustöö (sünnitusjärgne plaan), harimise (koolitused) ja pehme kohalolu (koduvisiidid, beebipeod, e-nõustamine).
