Finding Balance

There are so many paradoxes in parenting
that it is difficult to find balance.
Some don't even try.
They just plunge ahead
ignoring the subtle whispers of wisdom.
Others try half-heartedly,
but resort to old methods
when they get confused.
But some hear wisdom's quiet voice
and make it their own.

They find strength in softness,
power in flexibility,
perfection in mistakes,
success in failure,
clarity in confusion,
and love in letting go.

Soft Slumbers - Postpartum Doula and Baby Nurse services in Los Angeles, CA

Postpartum Doula Baby Nurse - Kathleen & Baby A postpartum doula is a non-judgmental woman with a quiet presence in your home giving emotional and breastfeeding support along with practical newborn care tips that helps ease your transition into motherhood.

After the baby is born, most new mothers and fathers appreciate the support of other women. Many of our mothers and extended family members are not always available to help, and even if they are available, some of our mothers do not have the breastfeeding experience to support a nursing mother.

I serve the following areas in Southern California: Los Angeles, LA, Orange County and Santa Barbara, CA.

Client Testimonial

"Kathleen is much more than just a doula, she's a great person who with bits of advice that come with real solid knowledge and experience. She gives you the boost of confidence and experienced answers every new mom is looking for. I am a first time mom of a precious son with no immediate family in the area. It didn't matter what I read, how many classes I took, Kathleen's words assured me that it will get better. Sometimes that knowledge that we've got a great doula is all we've got when the baby is fussing, not sleeping, eating all the time, but it's a good thing to have :) . Best of all, she'll text you to see how you're doing and help you through tough days."
