This is the moment when the pile-up begins. The kind of piles that start to accumulate is different from family to family but normally consist of dishes, laundry, strong emotions, questions about the baby, recycling, email mail and paper mail, and random baby stuff you didn't even know you owned, you get the picture.
After you have a baby is is hard to accomplish task that are not related directly to self care and baby care. This is where a postpartum doula comes in. We are here to get you emotional support and help you prioritize, manage, and sometimes tackle what ever has been piling up in your life.
Knowing you have someone to support you can provide a peace of mind for families. Our work is an essential safety net for new parents and is a missing piece in the current model of care in our culture. Emotional and practical support is overlooked in a society that encourages independence and self reliance.
Our work will help you feel relaxed and able to prioritize sleep and family bonding in the early weeks of parenting.

Private new parent mentoring is a great addition to traditional supports, helping you to feel truly nourished during your transition.
Sometimes traditional classes leave families wanting a little bit more; it might feel as though some key piece is missing. When you work with Amity for private new-parent mentoring our dialogue (similar to coaching) will provide the time and space for you to expand your perspective and connect with your intuition.
Each private session will be tailored just for you based on your unique needs and interests. Along with the planned topics, sessions often bring up unexpected ideas or feelings. Parents often feel both relief and motivation after a session.
Sessions may include emotional support, education, encouragement, process art projects, visualizations, mindfulness practices and much more.
AVAILABILITY: Sessions for individuals or couples are available in the Seattle area or online via Zoom. A 60-90 minute sessions is $90.
