Episode 49: What is a postpartum doula anyway?

July 25, 2025 by Candy

In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast I chat with Alice, a postnatal doula, highlighting the essential support doulas provide to new parents during the postpartum period. Alice shares her experiences and insights into how doulas help bridge the gap left by the absence of traditional community support. We discuss the importance of preparing for postpartum, setting boundaries, and prioritising self-care and mental health. The conversation also touches on societal expectations, the lack of adequate postpartum support, and the benefits of investing in personalised care over material goods.
