What We Do

---

Sometimes getting your baby to love their crib is not an easy task! Western MA Doulas brings the area’s only Mommywise Certified Sleep Coach to you. With different packages and a method custom-fit for your baby, we use techniques guaranteed to get your baby sleeping 11-12 hours a night in as little as 48 hours.

No matter how you are hoping to bring your baby into the world, we know that giving birth is a process filled with anticipation, questions, excitement, and maybe even fear. Our goal is to answer your questions and be your guide through the experience of giving birth. Our doulas are knowledgeable about all different types of births, and will support you in achieving your birthing goals. We all know that birth is unpredictable, so if your plans change at any time, you can be confident in knowing that your doula will not leave your side or question your choices. 

All Western MA Doulas are trained and certified or actively working towards their certification. They maintain CPR and First Aid certification and also have up-to-date liability insurance. Our commitment to our community is that our doulas will meet and exceed the highest standards and expectations, while bringing you the care and compassion that you want.

Whether you’re hoping for an extra set of hands during the day to help with tasks so you can bond with your baby or you’re wanting someone to take over the night shift so you can sleep, Western MA Doulas has a service for you. 

This is the start of an exciting journey. But like any adventure, you wouldn’t start out without a map! So why would you start this journey without a map and a guide? Our birth preparation classes are all that and more.

Using a thoroughly modern curriculum, delivered in person and with the attention to detail that Western MA Doulas is known for, this journey is one that will take you down a well-beaten path – you are joining the leagues of those who have given birth before you. Let us connect you to the past, while preparing you for childbirth in the modern age.

At Western MA Doulas, placenta encapsulation services are where traditional ideas meet modern standards. We know that safety is important to you, which is why we ensure that our professional encapsulators meet the highest industry standards: they attend in-person training, complete blood borne pathogen certification, and use properly sanitized equipment for every client.

Our commitment to your safety is reflected in our encapsulating process. Your placenta will never leave your possession, and your encapsulator comes to you! We will join you in your home and process your placenta where you can see the precautions and care that we take.

Being the best parent you can starts with making sure you’re taken care of. Eating well, drinking water, and getting enough rest and crucial. What to do when you bring home your newborn and they simply won’t allow the sleep part? Bring in help.

With experience in both breast and bottle feeding, Western MA Doulas will ease the stress of bedtime and allow you to get all the sleep you possibly can. Together we’ll develop a plan that works for your family. Whether we take the nighttime shift and you sleep or we tag-team, bringing baby to nurse and then taking them back to bed, we’ll handle the diaper changes, washing bottles or pump parts, and even light laundry.

Rest easy knowing you and your family are being cared for while you catch some shut eye.
