The word “doula” is rooted in “mothering the mother”. With that in mind, we do what we can to support the birthing person. The most commonly known doulas are labor doulas, who are non-medical professional support persons in any type of birthing space. A postpartum doula comes into the family’s home after the baby is born, to support the family by taking care of the baby, educating the family, providing lactation support, and doing light housekeeping if needed. A doula is another member of your professional care team, who will also look out for signs of Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS), and, in providing support, will try to lessen the effects or occurrences of those PMADS.

A trauma coach is an additional member of your mental health team. As your therapist works on past and present with you, a trauma coach will focus on present and future, and helping you move through the trauma toward a place of healing. This is done by working through different coping mechanisms, and coming up with achievable goals together, to gradually work towards being able to function and thrive, despite your past experiences.
