About Me
Hello, and welcome! I’m Billie, a compassionate and dedicated postpartum doula in training, and I’m here to support you through the transformative journey of new parenthood.
My passion for nurturing families comes from my ten years of childcare experience working with families of all stages, sizes, dynamics, and strengths in the Saint Louis and surrounding areas. I understand that the postpartum period can be both exhilarating and challenging, and I’m committed to providing you with the care and guidance you need to thrive.
What I Offer:
Emotional Support: I’m here to listen, offer encouragement, and help you navigate the emotional ups and downs of the postpartum period.
Practical Assistance: From baby care basics to household tasks and meals, I provide hands-on support to ease your transition and help you find your rhythm.
Education: I offer information and resources on infant care, breastfeeding, and self-care, empowering you with the knowledge to make informed decisions.
Personalized Care: Every family is unique, and I tailor my services to meet your individual needs and preferences.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and continuous education to provide the most current and effective support.
I also encourage the principles of gentle parenting, emphasizing respect, empathy, and positive reinforcement, and I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for you and your baby. My goal is to support you in finding balance, confidence, and joy during this special time.
When I’m not working with families, you might find me on stage singing with my band, streaming video games on Twitch, reading in my library, or cooking something delicious for my partner, friends, and family.
Thank you for considering me to be a part of your postpartum journey. I look forward to the opportunity to support you and your family.
Warmly,
Billie McKinley
