About Me
Thank you for your interest in my doula services. Azriyelle Doula Services was founded in 2017 to support families during pregnancy, birth and postpartum, as well as to meet the growing need for doula support in our communities..
A woman’s memories of her birth experiences last a lifetime and can have powerful effects on her self- esteem and confidence. I am committed to helping women and couples feel empowered and supported as they experience this life changing event. As a birth doula I provide reassurance, perspective and assist families during childbirth by offering physical assistance (including but not limited to - relaxation techniques, soothing touch, positioning and other comfort techniques), emotional support and information needed to help make informed decisions as they arise.
As a postpartum doula, I provide professional and compassionate care, supporting parents and babies, as they adjust to life together. Emotional, physical and informational support are important during the weeks after birth, as our main focus is your overall health, healing and well-being, as well as baby’s development
It would be an honor to have the opportunity to share this time with you. I will work to support you; helping you to feel confident, informed, and surrounded with care, love and respect.
Postpartum
I provide comprehensive newborn care, including soothing techniques, diapering, feeding support, and sleep training to help establish a smooth routine. Additionally, I assist with postpartum recovery, light household tasks, and referrals to local resources to ensure you feel supported during this transition.
