Meet our Postpartum Doulas
What is a Postpartum Doula?
The weeks after birth can be a time of big adjustment; tender, intense, and often unpredictable. Our community of postpartum doulas serving Vancouver and the Lower Mainland is here to offer calm, practical support as you settle into life with a new baby.
Our doulas meet families where they are. Support might look like caring for your baby while you sleep, help with feeding, a listening ear, or light household support that helps the day feel more doable. Sometimes it’s simply having someone present who understands this season and can remind you that what you’re experiencing is normal.
Each postpartum doula listed here works independently and brings their own experience, training, and style of care. We support all families and all feeding choices, and we’re committed to informed, respectful, and non-judgmental support.
You don’t have to navigate the postpartum period on your own. Having the right support can make a meaningful difference.

Postpartum Doula FAQ
What does a postpartum doula do?
A postpartum doula supports families in the early weeks after birth. This can include newborn care, feeding support, emotional check-ins, light household tasks, and helping you rest and recover. The goal is to make the transition home feel more supported and less overwhelming.
When should I book a postpartum doula?
You can reach out anytime during pregnancy or after your baby arrives, depending on availability. Many families find it helpful to have support arranged ahead of time, especially for the first few weeks at home.
How long do postpartum doulas support families?
Support looks different for every family. Some book a few daytime shifts during the first week, while others choose ongoing daytime or overnight support for several weeks. Your doula will work with you to figure out what feels most helpful.
Do postpartum doulas help with feeding?
Yes. Postpartum doulas can offer basic feeding support and guidance for both breast/chestfeeding and bottle feeding. They don’t replace a lactation consultant, but they can provide reassurance, practical help, and referrals if needed.
Do postpartum doulas do housework?
Postpartum doulas focus on tasks that support recovery and daily life with a new baby. This may include light household tasks like tidying, laundry, or preparing simple meals. The focus is always on supporting you and your baby, not deep cleaning.
Can a postpartum doula help if I had a caesarean birth?
Absolutely. Postpartum doulas support recovery after all types of births, including caesarean births. Support can be tailored to help with rest, mobility, newborn care, and easing the transition at home.
Do you support night-time care?
Many postpartum doulas offer overnight support. This can look like caring for your baby between feeds so you can sleep, helping with feeding, or offering reassurance during long nights.
Do postpartum doulas replace family support?
No. Postpartum doulas work alongside partners, family members, and friends. They offer experienced, non-judgmental support and can help guide others in how best to support you.
How do I choose the right postpartum doula?
We recommend meeting with a few doulas and noticing how you feel during the conversation. The right fit is someone you feel comfortable with and supported by.
