Postpartum Well-Being
Hello!
I'm Alison, a Postpartum Doula helping new parents adjust to life with a baby. I provide hands-on support and guidance to families in and around Ottawa and I offer virtual care for those beyond the local area. I'm here to help you navigate the beautiful but challenging early days of parenthood.
New parenthood is full of ups and downs—moments of joy right alongside unexpected tears, peaceful cuddles that sometimes turn into overwhelming hours, and a rollercoaster of love, fear, and worry all at once. You shouldn't have to figure it all out by yourself.
As your Postpartum Doula, I help you slow down and actually enjoy these precious early days. When you're too tired to think straight, I'm there to remind you that your instincts are your most powerful parenting tool.
I hold space for every emotion—validating that yes, this work of nurturing new life is incredibly challenging and worthy of acknowledgment.
In a world rushing parents to 'bounce back,' I stand firmly as your advocate for rest, for gentleness, and for finding your unique rhythm as a family. There is no single 'right way' to parent—there is only your way, and I'm here to help you discover it with confidence and grace.
Services
I nurture your family's transformation through personalized support. As your dedicated guide through the postpartum journey, I offer more than just services—I create pathways to confidence and connection when you need it most. From hands-on doula care that eases your physical and emotional transition, to intuitive coaching that illuminates your parental wisdom, to thoughtful preparation that helps you envision and create your ideal postpartum sanctuary—my holistic approach ensures no aspect of your family's well-being is overlooked. When you work with me, you're never alone in navigating the beautiful complexity of welcoming new life.

Your partner will be working hard to feed your new baby as well as recovering from the process of being pregnant and giving birth. Be there for loving emotional support. Make sure you are spending time holding and getting to know your baby too. Arrange for food and meals and ensure that your partner is getting enough water, rest and support.

A postpartum plan is a resource you create to ensure you will have a supported postpartum experience. You outline your support system, sleep and eating plan, chores that can be outsourced, and things you need for your own wellbeing .
Just like a birth plan, you can’t know exactly how things will go but being prepared can help you navigate things with more confidence.
