Hendriks Doula Services.

Offering premium doula services….

As your labour, birth and/or postpartum Doula I offer non-medical, emotional, physical and informational support to both the Pregnant Mother and her partner. I will do my best to help you both make the right informed decision through your pregnancy, birth and postpartum period. I can be that one consistent support and familiar face throughout this process. Once we have established a relationship and you have both decided that I am a good fit for this journey I will be available in the timeline discussed before the baby arrives for any questions or concerns you may have and to help keep your mind at ease.

“Hands down, the best postpartum support! Meghan helped our family through some very difficult and challenging times. She went above and beyond for our son while still always making time for our older daughter. She gave us the peace of mind to be able to have some much needed down time while she was there and the ease of knowing we never had to worry. We will be forever grateful to her for all she did for our little one!”

Love from K &D.

FAQs

  • Absolutely!! Lets have a look and discuss why it may not work the first time, set some goals.We can talk about skin to skin and the importance of this once baby is born. We will discuss techniques, positioning, proper latch and have an understanding of successful breastfeeding before and after baby arrives.

  • Yes!!! Working with your Doula for a birth preference you can plan together what you may want to change or keep the same as your last birth. You may have more questions that your Doula can explain and support you through. Postpartum support will be key as well. You will be able to get some extra rest or spend some one on one time with you other child or even one on one time with the baby….maybe even grab some quiet time with your partner!! You’ll have that in home support emotionally, physically and mentally through your fourth trimester.

  • Absolutely NOT! Your partner is “your person” nobody knows you better than them. Your partner is an asset to your Doula...as your Doula can be an asset to your partner. We can work together to provide you with the support that you need and want. Your Doula will have the knowledge of labour, birth and postpartum...your partner has the knowledge of knowing what works best for you, they can read your eyes, your voice and your vibes. Your Doula is also a key support for your partner to encourage them and help to keep them informed form an evidence based perspective as well.
