Congratulations on the growth of your family, and your transition into a new chapter of life! We know the excitement and joy that you’re feeling, and we’ve been honored to celebrate it with our clients. We also know that welcoming a sweet-smelling, diaper-filling, non-sleeping bundle of love into your steady and predictable lives is not for the faint of heart! And for that reason, we refer to the period before, during and after a baby’s birth as “the seismic shift.”
Seismic /ˈsīz-mik/ (adjective) “of enormous proportions or effect”
Birth and early parenting change us. Not just a little, not just for the moment, but forever and the good news is… It’s usually for the better! But similar to an earthquake, the seismic shift that comes with it, can destroy everything in its path.
But what if we told you there was a way to prevent some of the shock and upheaval that is associated with birth, post-birth recovery, and the infant care adjustment period?
What if you had your own “person” who deeply understood the changes that you were navigating in pregnancy, birth and postpartum?
…Someone with clear and concise knowledge regarding what was “normal” and what was beyond the scope of normal?
…Someone who could ease your mind, and also provide vetted professional referrals when, or if they become necessary?
…A person who would show up for you, and create a space where you could safely and comfortably process your birth experience, and adjust to your new responsibilities as a parent?
Oh, and one more thing. What if that person had no judgment about your birth or parenting approach, but was skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in all philosophies, and excited to help you find and implement yours?
Those people are Boston Area Doulas.
To the professional world, we are “Boston Area Doulas,” but our clients swear it stands for BadAss Doulas. We’ve supported hundreds of families— helping badass parents find calm, confidence and strength during this seismic shift to parenthood. With evidence-based support, and non-judgmental, compassionate care, we’ve got you.
Evidence-Based Doulas
The informative conversations and resources you can expect from Boston Area Doulas will always and only be backed by evidence. We know that the information you seek for making informed decisions is not based on the opinions of others. If it were, you’d just consult with random strangers on the internet. You insist on reputable sources and we insist on our team staying current on all things relevant to pregnancy, birth and postpartum care.
Non-Judgmental Doulas
Look, everywhere you turn, you’re literally staring into the face of judgment. From whether or not you find out your baby’s sex during pregnancy, the color you paint your nursery, how you feed your baby, or what kind of diapers you choose. You name it, someone has an opinion about it. At Boston Area Doulas we see you as the loving, caring, family-focused badass parents that you are. Our support is always judgment free.
Compassionate Doulas
Platitudes like, “It’ll be ok” and “Don’t worry about it” are condescending and lack compassion. Our doulas come to this work because of a deeply rooted passion to support others through the delicate cycle of life that is growing a family. This desire to support others comes from a place of compassion and requires us to have a strong ability to attune to the needs of others. Providing compassionate support is what we were put on the earth for.
