Postpartum Care with Experienced Doulas
Postpartum Care
Welcoming a new baby is an incredible transition—beautiful, emotional, exhausting, and sometimes overwhelming all at once. Our role is to help your family move through those early weeks and months feeling supported, cared for, and more confident as you settle into life with your new baby.
With more than 15 years of experience supporting families through birth and postpartum, Cheryl Klugmann, IBCLC and Certified Sleep Specialist, provides compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to the unique needs of each family. Support is available during the day or overnight and is provided by Cheryl and her carefully selected My Body My Birth team, based on your family’s individual needs and schedule.
Choosing postpartum support means welcoming someone into your home during one of the most intimate and transformative times in your family’s life. We take that trust seriously. Every My Body My Birth doula is personally selected by Cheryl, background checked, carries individual professional liability insurance, and is required to maintain appropriate professional certifications and current CPR credentials.
Just as importantly, our doulas are chosen for their warmth, compassion, reliability, and ability to make families feel genuinely cared for. Cheryl oversees each family’s care plan, thoughtfully matches families with the right doula, and remains available throughout your postpartum journey. As an IBCLC and Certified Sleep Specialist, Cheryl can also provide expert guidance as feeding and sleep needs evolve.
Our goal is not simply to care for your baby, but to care for your family as a whole—to give you opportunities to rest and recover, help you understand your baby, support you as you find your rhythm as parents, and bring calm and reassurance to this incredibly special season of your lives.
For families who choose ongoing care, that relationship often becomes something very special. We may enter your home as strangers, but over weeks and months of caring for you and your baby, we often leave feeling like family.
