Postpartum Doula

My  name is Tina Swaim and I became a postpartum doula to assist mothers who need help when their new babies arrive home.  I have been married for 16 years and have two children,  Alyssa age 13 and Jeffrey age 9.  I am aware of the struggles, adjustments, and questions that can go through new mothers minds when the baby finally arrives.  I also know the joy and happiness that a child brings as well.  My goal as a postpartum doula is to help the new mother do what is best to enjoy and care for her new baby, as well as help with breasfeeding and the promotion of parent infant bonding.  I received my training through D.O.N.A and feel what I learned will help a new mother and her family implement their own parenting style.  I hope my own experiences with my children and my training  will help make your postpartum period a wonderful and enjoyable experience.
