POSTPARTUM DOULA CARE

Having supported hundreds of families in their first months I have found a wide variety of resources and strategies that can smooth the transition into and through early parenthood. From those long nights and bleary-eyed days in the beginning to the growth spurts and teething challenges along the way, postpartum doula care can help you feel comfortable in your new role as parents.

All postpartum doula care starts with a complimentary consultation where you can get to know me, share your hopes and concerns for your baby, and ask any questions that have been on your mind about babies, and doula care.

​*Your doula will be masked at all times while working in-person with you at your home in addition to monitoring themselves for symptoms (change in taste/smell, cough, fever, fatigue, etc.), frequent hand washing and sanitizing, and following all provincially and federally recommended COVID-19 preventative measures. 

Currently Kaya has limited availability for postpartum families and is referring interested families to Samara Ferguson, another fantastic postpartum doula serving Cowichan families.

Samara Ferguson She/Her
I have had three children of my own, two daughters earthside and a son who lives in my heart. I have previous experience as a Birth Doula and have supported many families. I now work with families as a Postpartum Doula, with a passion in working with new families as they cross the threshold into new parenthood, families welcoming another child and supporting loss families and families who are pregnant again after loss.

I have both my Certified Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula Training as well as Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss Training. I also have 20+ years experience working along side and supporting families as a mother's helper, nanny and in-home childcare provider.

I come into this work with a very caring and empathetic nature. Through my experience and training, my desire is to help families to feel fully supported in the postpartum period.
