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 Sullivan knows what your baby needs even before he/she does. Experienced, kind, giving and gentle, Kathleen made my husband and me feel like we were getting off on the right start with our newborn even before we brought him home from the hospital. She was charming and fun to have around the house, as well as extremely trustworthy, which was a big relief for us because we're very picky and particular about inviting relative strangers into our home. She has a very calming presence that gave us a sense of security. as well as a wealth of knowldege which she willingly shared with us as she tought us how to nurture our baby. We couldn't have been happier with Kathleen. Two thumbs way up... well, three if you count Baby Jacks!"
