Felicity’s Postpartum.

Lou was absolutely wonderful in my postpartum period. I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly. Hiring her was the best thing we could possibly have done, for myself and as a result the family as a whole. I am forever grateful for her support during our special time with our daughter Hazel.

At first I was unsure about hiring a doula, I really didn’t know much about them. I only found out about them when a friend mentioned/recommended Lou to me. After doing some research I felt that post partum support was what I really needed desperately with my first child and lacked. Lou and I spoke a few times in the lead up to the birth of my daughter. She was so encouraging and her words came back me during my labour – she said to me ‘you can do it’, so simple but I hadn’t really had someone say that to me. I had an epidural with my first child (very happily) and had never really considered going without for my second child. However I felt so empowered, that when my labour came on I opted to go drug free. It was the most incredible experience of my life.

Knowing I had Lou to help me after my birth was very comforting to me, especially knowing I was coming home to a very busy toddler and husband who works long hours. Lou has the most beautiful calming nature. Her presence helped me to feel relaxed when I was overwhelmed. She brought me beautiful nourishing foods, held my baby while I had a shower, tidied the house, talked with and supported me through feeding challenges, took beautiful photographs, debriefed my birth (& a million more things). The best part – she gave me opportunities to have naps – life changing 🙌
Washed hair, a nap, + waking up to a clean house and snacks/a meal plus happy baby is what post partum dreams are made of. She was guided by me but she is also so intuitive I felt like she could sense what I needed on the day. Lou thank you a million times for the work you do. ❤️
