Doula Deb

Birth, Postpartum & Sleep Doula: Compassionate Doula Care, Elevating Your Parenthood Experience My approach is simple.

I believe that every family should receive comprehensive care, starting from pregnancy, continuing through childbirth, and lasting as your family grows. Since 2008, I have been working as a professional doula, providing holistic care that meets your family's needs in every aspect, and guiding you as your family grows. My entry into the perinatal field in 2008 was a pivotal moment in my life. From the moment I discovered this calling, I knew it was my true purpose. In just three months, I completed professional doula training, leaving behind a successful career to pursue a new path that has changed my life forever. Today, as I balance my family responsibilities, my passion for supporting other families has only deepened. I have not only witnessed but also personally experienced the gap that often exists between families and the care they receive during this critical period of transition. My mission is to bridge that gap and provide the unwavering support that every family deserves during this transformative time.

Sometimes the conversations around pregnancy, postpartum, and babies get heavy — and sometimes they’re just so real you can’t help but laugh.
If you don’t laugh, you cry. So we laugh.

That’s what Doula Talk is about.
Honest conversations. Real moments. A lot of heart… and yes, plenty of laughter along the way.

Come for the support. Stay for the laughs.

Holiday season, but make it postpartum edition 🎄😅

Between the parties, gatherings, and one more thing on the calendar…
sometimes the most regulated choice is saying no and staying in.

Your baby doesn’t need photos, outfits, or appearances.
They need you.
And honestly? You probably need the couch, the pajamas, and the snuggles too.

It’s okay to opt out.
It’s okay to go slow.
It’s okay if your favorite holiday plan is staying home.

✨ Cozy over chaotic
✨ Snuggles over schedules
✨ Rest is still productive

Friday Favorite ✨
If you’re a “never leave home without the sound machine” parent… same. Portable white noise is the real MVP of naps on the go.

Here are two I’m loving right now:

🌙 Momcozy Portable Sound Machine
Amber night light, 20 soothing sounds, long battery life, and it clips right onto the stroller. Basically: portable peace for busy days.

💤 Mini White Noise Machine
Palm-sized, 12 calming sounds, 15-hour battery life, and no app or Wi-Fi needed. Just turn it on and watch baby melt into sleep.

Both are perfect for car seats, stroller walks, holiday travel...anywhere you want a fighting chance at a solid nap.

✨ Mood: calm baby, calmer parent

The holiday season hits different when you’re in the newborn or postpartum chapter.
And guess what? It should.

Your traditions can look quieter.
Your pace can be slower.
Your home can be cozy, messy, or beautifully simple.

There’s no “right way” to do this season. There’s only the way that supports you and your baby.

Here’s your permission slip to create the version of the holidays that actually feels good. 🌿✨

Your wrap or carrier is holiday magic — it keeps your baby close, helps them stay calm, and gently discourages the “pass the baby” parade. Bonus: two free hands for cocoa and cookies. ☕️🎁

Friday Favorite: Muslin Swaddle Blankets 🤎

If you’ve got a little one who loves a snug, secure swaddle, muslin blankets are such a win. They’re light, breathable, and because the fabric is less stretchy, they help you get that nice tight wrap without overheating — perfect for travel, summer babies, or warm houses.
These bamboo/cotton ones on Amazon are super soft, durable, and big enough (47x47!) to make swaddling way less fussy. Plus, they double as basically everything: nursing cover, stroller shade, burp cloth, car seat cover… you name it.

Soft, simple, sturdy — and they get even cozier with every wash.
Definitely a newborn essential.

The holidays can pull you in a thousand directions — events, gifts, routines, emotions… the whole sparkly whirlwind. ✨

But here’s the truth no one says out loud enough:
You need a break, too.
Not just to rest…
but to connect — with yourself and with the person in the trenches with you.

A quiet cheers in front of the tree.
A moment to exhale together.
A reminder that you’re still a team, even in the chaos.

When you regulate, when you slow down, when you refill your own cup?
Your baby feels it.
Your whole home feels it. 💚

Take the pause. Make the moment.
Your nervous system (and your relationship) deserve it. 🌿✨

You don’t have to attend every gathering or keep every tradition. Growing a baby (or healing from birth) is plenty. Give yourself permission to slow down, say no, and choose peace over pressure this year. 🌿

✨ Podcast Update! ✨
The podcast is taking a little break while I rest, reset, and line up some incredible new episodes for January 2026 — and trust me, they are going to be GOOD.

In the meantime, it’s the perfect chance to binge all the past episodes you may have missed (or re-listen to your faves!). There’s so much gold in there for pregnancy, postpartum, sleep, and that beautifully chaotic first year.

Got an idea, a topic, or a question you’d love to hear me cover in 2026?
💬 Drop it in the comments!
Your suggestions shape this show, and I cannot WAIT to bring you more support, more real talk, and more “ohhh THAT makes sense” moments next year.

See you in January! 💛✨

Friday Favorite: Travel Bottle Drying Rack
When you're bottle-feeding on the go, the real MVP is anything that saves you from washing bottles in questionable sinks. 🙃
Bring enough bottles to last your busiest day — OR grab my favorite compact travel bottle brush + soap + drying rack from Momcozy. It all folds up, keeps everything clean, and makes travel so much easier.

Link’s waiting for you in the show notes from the podcast or my Favorite Things 💛✨
