Why Hire a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula will typically be with a family within the 6-8 weeks after your baby arrives:
Offer a compassionate presence that helps parents adjust to their new roles, support parent-baby bonding, and soothing.
Guide with breastfeeding and newborn care, emotional and physical recovery from birth.
Help mom needs - shower, sleep, listing ear.
Help with meals and snacks for the family.
Help with your newborn laundry.
Baby massage, bath, and care for your infant.
Research shows that moms, dads, and babies have an easier time with this transition if a good support team exists.
One in-home prenatal meeting:
Getting to know each other
Develop a postpartum plan
Practice techniques for easy labor
Prepare your home space for you and your little one
Design a meal plan for the first ten days after birth
Prenatal massage (additional charge)
Praise for Ronit April Varga, Postpartum Doula
“Ronit was truly a lifesaver for us. I often began our time together feeling exhausted and overwhelmed and by the end always felt more capable and hopeful. She was steady, reassuring, and worked magic with the baby (and in the kitchen!). She cooked the most beautiful meals for us and really helped me see patterns with the baby that I was too tired to pick up on (particularly around naps). I truly don't know how she got it all done in 4 hours and yet never seemed like she was rushing. I would recommend her highly to any family and hope we have the opportunity to work with her with baby #2!"

The journey into parenthood can present new challenges. I encourage partners to find their stable ground and practice safe and loving communications. This allows for all to share their needs and wants with ease.
My purpose is to support you, the mother, as you bond with your newborn. I provide families with the in-home support they need during the weeks that follow birth. It’s a precious moment and a significant change that will impact each family member. With a deep understanding of how tender the circumstances may be, I lead with a loving, nonjudgmental, and profoundly nurturing presence.
My services are available on Mondays from 7am-8pm, Wednesdays from 7am-4pm and Fridays from 8am-5pm.
The transition to parenthood is remarkable. It is a period of transformation and healing. New parents can benefit greatly from the help of an assembled “village,” whatever form and shape it may take in contemporary times. I’d be honored to be one of your created “villages” of supporters for you and your partner's journey to be the empowered parents you are destined to be.
