Birth, Postpartum & Lactation Support: How Doulas Help with Plans, Goals, and Everything In-Between

Trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, and the fourth trimester (the postpartum period) is challenging for almost everyone. A Doula helps you and your family with the unknowns surrounding your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. Doulas offer thoughtful and supportive care, reassurance, and tailored education, while also showing up for you as a reliable source because no one needs to suffer during these very tender times or navigate it alone.

If this speaks to you and you’d like to learn more about how you can benefit from birth, postpartum or lactation support, join our session!  We’ll cover what empowered support looks like, how Doulas improve birth outcomes, nursing relationships and help to facilitate (and speed up) your natural healing process.

Kristen Kaessler is a lifelong entrepreneur, birth and postpartum doula and coach, dancer, yogini, outdoor enthusiast, and HR consultant/business owner. Kristen officially became a Doula in June 2020, and is current member and Masters Mentee at Manhattan Birth, an Integrative Lactation and Feeding Specialist (ILFS), a member of DONA International, and a Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist via PRONatal Fitness. She loves all things birth/babies, caring for others, and offering genuine support. 

Kristen works with birthing people who seek additional support before, during, and after the longest marathon of their lives – giving birth. In her practice as a birth and postpartum doula, Kristen provide clients with a non-judgmental sounding board. She offers helping hands when clients are too tired to carry out activities of daily living in their homes during the postpartum period and uses her intuition to pick up on non-verbal cues to encourage and elevate on the hardest of days. Kristen seeks to genuinely support, respect, comfort, and inform clients so they feel prepared, informed, heard, and special. It is easy for her to show up authentically for my clients regardless of their choices.
