	Fawn Beckwith The days of welcoming a child into our home and hearts is one of the most tender and precious times in our lives. As a postpartum doula, I'm promoting the smoothest transition possible by respectfully assisting with all aspects of parenthood.	Greater Victoria/Southern Vancouver Island
	Dani Greene Sometimes you just need a break! A little extra support can be the difference between baby bliss and struggling to cope. In western culture it has become custom to focus on the baby once he or she is born and sometimes the mother can feel abandoned. This usually co-insides with a major change in hormones and lack of sleep. You'll feel much better after a nap, some nourishing food and a hot shower. Give me call, often times I'm available on short notice.	Victoria and Surrounding Areas

Discovering our new identity can come with challenges, but trusting in our bodies and instincts to care for and nourish our babies is what will help guide us through. It's also critical to reach out for support from the many resources in our community as this time of transition is not something Mother Nature intended for us to do alone.
