During my time volunteering for Baby Blues Connection, I watched women suffering from perinatal mood disorders. At one point a woman was having lactating issues, and there was pressure from the family to breastfeed. The doctor only offered formula as a solution, with no other option. The family structure was dissolving, the health of the baby was deteriorating, and the mental health of the birthing parent was plummeting. It was awful. I felt powerless.
I felt as if these women were abandoned by their primary caregivers. When issues would arise, new mothers didn’t know the extent of what was available as a resource, while losing valuable bonding time.
While interviewing these phenomenal practitioners on video, I have learned so much about wellness and am so excited for you to be informed by these passionate professionals dedicated to postpartum health.
We Create Joy.
We want to build a space that gives a new mom, in recovery from childbirth, what she needs to be able to give more of herself while taking excellent care of herself.
Our Commitment
Our support comes in the form of easily digestible videos. With so much dense information, we want to start by breaking it down. This will provide you comfort giving you what you need to thrive. Our multi-cultural trusted practitioners are generous enough to share an array of tips and tricks to learn from, as well as ways to calm baby, so you have time for yourself. I know you will fall in love with them as much as Portland has.
Take Care of Yourself
What is the most important thing during this time? Rest. How do you get to rest during this time? Answers.
I have heard this time referred to as ‘unexpected’. It can be so stressful to navigate postpartum and to not forget about yourself.

Watch/Learn On Your Schedule
You can sit back and access these videos at any time. Over fifty videos are set up to assist with all the essentials to know during this sometimes overwhelming following birth.

We hope for you to create relationships with wellness providers during your parenting time to assist you with all of your family’s growing needs. Including self-care for the birth parent and ways to support your baby to be well.
Health and wellness can make a profound impact on our lives. We all want our kids to have the best possible environment for cuddling.
If you have questions, please contact us. I will be happy to clarify the curiosities you have. I want you to know what you are going to love and why.

Community Doula Alliance
Our primary focus is to provide support for survivors of
domestic violence to promote empowerment and change.
Statistics show that survivors are less likely to return to a violent
partner or repeat a domestic violence situation when they
participate in regular physical activity. Yoga promotes healing of
the body and mind, while providing a sense of power, strength
and well being.
