Charlotte is a sometimes artist, mama, lover of great food, sleep in advocate and postpartum doula. Charlotte knows that not only does it take a village to raise a child, it takes a village to hold a family. kin was born because she couldn’t shake the niggling feeling that there had to be a better way. She gets it – babies are gosh darn gorgeous, but you deserve to be held too. Parenting is beautiful, messy, sparkly, hard work. Charlotte wants newborn families, just like yours, to feel supported and celebrated.
As your postpartum doula, Charlotte will always
- make sure you feel nourished, supported, and held, as you do the same for your newest family member
- have you as her primary focus and arrive without any expectations – setting her apart from even the most well-meaning guest
- ask you what you want and need
- ask you how you are traveling
- remind you that no one will ever know your babe as well as you do
- come bearing delicious food, non judgemental support, and an extra pair of hands as we try to comprehend the instructions on your baby carrier/pram/whatever else seems suddenly indecipherable. How can anything so teeny be so hard to assemble?!
- honour your transition to parenthood
Families come in an endless array of perfect combinations and Charlotte can’t wait to walk alongside yours as you embark on this – the grandest of adventures.
