Episode 43 - Why Every New Mom Needs a Postpartum Doula — Meet Heather Daniels

In this episode Heather Daniels, a postpartum doula and lactation educator, explains how doulas support families before and after birth — from prenatal visits and in-home care to lactation help, hospital support, setting boundaries with relatives, and spotting postpartum mental-health issues. She covers training, services and pricing, insurance coverage and giftable packages, and why community, education and hands-on care help new parents regain confidence and rest. Heather also shares practical tips for hiring a doula, what to expect in shifts, and how doulas work with partners and grandparents to create ritual, routine, and relief during the fourth trimester.
