Welcome!

I am Bethany Harrington, Postpartum Doula

 and Certified Lactation Counselor

The postpartum period, although very exciting, is a time when there are several physical, emotional and social changes to the life you once knew. Whether you are pregnant, a new parent, or a seasoned one with a new addition, we all can use a little help sometimes.

 As a parent of two young children, I was frustrated by the lack of preparation and advertised support for parents after birth. I experienced a heavy a focus on pregnancy and birth paired with a few visits from a lactation consultant in the hospital. From there I was sent home with an adorable squishy little baby.......that I had no idea how to take care of. Not only did I struggle with my initial experiences breastfeeding, and learning how to care for a newborn, but I also suffered from postpartum anxiety and depression. 

During this time, support from family, friends and connections with birth professionals made all the difference. A solid support system should be a priority whether you are bringing home your first baby or your tenth. I want to be a part of that support system so you can have an enjoyable and smoother transition into your new family dynamic. I truly believe that postpartum and lactation support in the first several weeks should be a standard practice for EVERY family!
