Harmony Postpartum Care
Welcoming a new baby is a day filled with emotions—joy, excitement, and perhaps a touch of overwhelm. But birth is about more than just welcoming a baby—it’s the birth of a mother. This profound physical and emotional transformation, woven with vulnerability and strength, deserves to be honoured and supported.
Our mission is to nurture mothers throughout the delicate and defining days of the postpartum season. Mothers deserve the opportunity to slow down, connect with their babies, and become more mindful of their well-being during the early weeks and months postpartum. Yet, many lack the support, resources, or guidance to embrace this period of transformation fully.
It’s one thing to suggest that a mother rest, nourish herself, and bond with her baby—it's another to provide the practical support and care that make it possible. That’s where Harmony Postpartum Care makes a difference.
Our goal is to ensure that by the end of our time together, our clients feel fully supported and nurtured during those early days, empowering them to embrace and transition into their lifelong journey of parenting confidently.
Our Harmony Postpartum Care Packages
Packages: $350- 2,600
Full Village:
This package may be the right fit for parents with no family on the island, first-time parents, twin babies or a planned C-section, a partner with little parental leave or at risk for perinatal mental health concerns, or multiple children at home.
The Welcome Home:
This package may be the right fit for parents with a limited support system on island, twin babies or a planned C-section, a partner with little parental leave, or someone who is at risk for perinatal health concerns
The Foundation:
This package may be the right fit for parents with family support on the island or someone who needs some foundational support.
Flex Sessions:
We strongly advocate for the importance of bonding with your baby through nighttime parenting, yet we understand how exhausting this process can be. We also know how challenging it can be to balance other responsibilities, especially when they leave you with little time to recover and fully attend to both your own needs and those of your baby. Flex Sessions are ideal for families who need ongoing support without a full-time commitment. These sessions are particularly beneficial for those adjusting to newborn routines while balancing other responsibilities. If you’re seeking extended, flexible help during critical times—such as the early morning or late evening—this package may be the perfect fit for you.
Inspired by Tradition and Culture
Harmony Postpartum Care is rooted in the rich traditions of postpartum support from both the Dutch and Ethiopian cultures.
In the Netherlands, new parents are supported by a kraamverzorgster—a postpartum professional who blends the roles of a doula, maternity nurse, and health visitor. This nurturing, practical, and supportive approach has been shown to improve breastfeeding rates and reduce postpartum depression, contributing to the well-being of families.
Similarly, in Ethiopian tradition, the postpartum period is seen as a sacred time where mothers are cared for by their community—receiving nourishing foods, warm support, and the space to rest and heal. This holistic approach to postpartum care ensures that mothers feel valued, respected, and nurtured during their transition to parenthood.
At Harmony, we draw inspiration from these time-honoured practices to offer holistic postpartum care that empowers mothers to thrive.
What Does a Postpartum Doula Do?
Postpartum support with a doula is comprehensive, aiming to nurture both parents as they transition into their new roles. The support offered can include:
Emotional Support
Providing reassurance, active listening, and a safe space to express feelings, fears, or joys. A doula helps parents navigate the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the postpartum period.
Newborn Care & Education
Assisting with newborn care tasks such as feeding, diapering, and soothing. Doulas also educate parents on infant care techniques, building confidence in their caregiving abilities.
Household & Nutrition Support
Preparing nourishing meals that promote healing, energy, and well-being. They may also assist with light household tasks, allowing parents to focus on resting and bonding.
Postpartum Recovery Support
Providing guidance on physical recovery after childbirth, including suggestions for exercises, pelvic floor health, and self-care practices to support healing.
Partner Support
Helping partners navigate their roles in supporting the new parent, fostering a sense of teamwork and collaboration.
Sibling Adjustment
Offering advice and strategies for helping older siblings adjust to the new baby, ensuring the family dynamic remains harmonious.
Flexible Support, Tailored to You
Every new parent’s journey is unique, so our postpartum care packages are flexible. Start with a package of hours that can be spread over several weeks - used when you need them most. Whether a few hours each day as you settle in or occasional visits as you gain confidence, our support adapts to your changing needs.
Many families find that gifting a postpartum doula package at a baby shower is far more valuable than toys or clothes - truly a gift that keeps giving.
