Today I have on my friend Krystal Williams from Blooming Love to chat about her Postpartum Doula journey. As always, I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do!

*As a postpartum doula my role is to support mom/parents so that they are able to care for baby.  The wonderful thing is my role looks different for every family.  I am able to be there the day after families get home from the hospital, and provide support through the first 4 months. I come to their home with experience, evidence based resources, and a judgement free prospective.  I am truly there to help them.  I provide daytime support as well as overnight and virtual.
