Congratulations on the birth of your baby, and on the incredible journey into parenthood that you’re about to begin!

I’m Jordan, the owner of The Wholesome Doula LLC, and I’ve made it my professional mission to assist families during what I like to refer to as “the 4th trimester.”

Do you have a 4th-trimester plan?

The 4th trimester describes the first three months a baby spends on the outside of its parent’s body… Birth through the first 3 months.

While this is an incredibly exciting time, it certainly comes with its own challenges. As we all know… new babies need things around the clock!

The 4th trimester involves adapting to the ever-changing needs of your newborn while dealing with sleep deprivation, and the emotional and physical recovery from birth. It requires you to give all of yourself day and night while you are in the midst of exploring and learning everything you can to get it right for your baby.

A newborn can undoubtedly bring about joyous times and memories, yet it can also bring challenges and changes. For example, the emotional toll of sleep deprivation. Having professional support during those late-night hours with your newborn are an opportunity to not only get much needed rest for you to feel your best self for your baby the next day, but also connect and bond with your partner amidst the chaos of establishing new routines.

My expertise in newborn care and understanding of the emotional, psychological, and physical demands of parenthood can provide much-needed relief to all members of the family. I offer many services to help ease the transition into parenthood like guidance on feeding options, soothing techniques, sleep cycles and schedules, burping, safe sleep, multiples, empowerment and encouragement for the parents, and more.

Have you ever dreamt about having support with practical tasks while you have time to bond with your new baby? Perhaps tedious tasks like light household tidying, bottle and milk preparation, pump/bottle sterilization, nursery organization, or waking up to a freshly emptied diaper pail sound helpful!

I can help you navigate the 4th trimester and guide you toward taking the right first steps.
