Birth & Postpartum Doula

Isabel Bishop

I am a birth and postpartum doula, currently only doing overnight postpartum and newborn care. I have been working as a doula for one year, and have over 12 years of experience with child and infant care!

 

My job is to empower you to trust your own instincts! I believe that too often parents are shamed for the choices they make during the childbearing year, but the truth is that no way is the best way, and every pregnancy, every baby, every night with a newborn is different. I am much more interested in learning about you and your needs than coming in with some notion of expertise! I can offer tender companionship, as well as guidance on healing, juggling responsibilities, and baby care. But when I come into your home, my assumption is that you are the expert on this family, not me. Whether it’s cleaning a toilet, giving you a foot rub, or dialing the number for your doctor or lactation specialist, as a doula I want to do whatever task, small or large, that will bring you a little more ease and joy during this time!

Certified Birth Doula

Sari Fein (she/her)

Rachamah Doula Services

 

As a DONA-trained birth doula, I provide physical and emotional support and education to birthing people during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. It is my deeply held belief that there is no right or wrong way to bring a child into the world. My goal is to help you have a birth experience in which you feel listened to, supported, and empowered. I support all births, including births with an epidural, unmedicated births, and Caesarean births; whether in a hospital, birth center, or at home. I affirm all LGBTQIA+ families, am trauma informed, and am actively working to become anti-racist.


Why Rachamah? In Hebrew, “rachamah” (pronounced ra-ḤA-ma) is the feminine form of the word “rehem,” which means “womb.” This term is also often used as a verb meaning “to show compassion,” which is a guiding principle of my work as a doula.

Whether it is three days later or three decades later, it is never too late to heal the ailments that may have come up during pregnancy or birth. Whether it is building pelvic floor strength after birth or helping a woman prepare for a second birth after a challenging first birth; the integration of herbs, movement and acupuncture can be incredibly fast, productive and powerful in the prenatal and postpartum periods.

During labor, I will be with you to help ease discomfort & pain, support you in achieving your preferences as much as possible, and guide your partner, if present, in supporting you as best as they can. Once baby is born, I will visit with you within the first two weeks to help aide in basic sleep & nursing techniques, healing after birth, and providing any support you need in your home.
