Welcome to Sweet Sage Postpartum! As a postpartum doula I strive to promote healing of body and mind after birth, help build confidence in your parenting skills, and bring peace to your postpartum period. I am also able to facilitate healthy bonding between the new baby, parents, and siblings. I can provide educational resources and develop a postpartum plan with you to make your ideal postpartum a reality.
Other tasks I am able to assist with include:
– Supporting and assisting with infant feeding, including breastfeeding
– Modeling and assisting with infant care
– Education on newborn care, typical characteristics, and age appropriate infant sleep
– Encouraging the family to make informed parenting choices that reflect their values and needs
– Assist with household organization, light housework, meal planning and preparation, and running simple errands
– Providing resources and recommendations for healthcare professionals as needed.
About me:
Hi, I’m Sage! I was born and raised in West Jordan, Utah. I currently live on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley with my spouse, two young kids, and our Great Dane. After struggling with postpartum depression following the birth of my second child, I learned first-hand how crucial proper support is in avoiding and recovering from perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I decided to transition from my former career of 16 years as a veterinary technician in order to support the new families in my community. I am currently in the process of becoming certified as a postpartum doula through CAPPA. Outside of work my hobbies include reading, doing puzzles, attending yoga and dance classes, and listening to Taylor Swift.
