Beautify Lifestyle Services: Birth & Postpartum Doula

Within the ethos of lifestyle support, Beautify Lifestyle Services include birth and postpartum support for women, babies, and families.

Having served over 50 families as a doula over the years, Angela Rosoff, has offered a range of support to each unique family. Within the emergent state of a new family's transition into a state of thriving, working with a doula can offer deep supportive care and guidance during the first 40 days of life.

The postpartum experience lasts through the first year. Within this time, a doula can help you discover the joy and satisfaction of being a family leader and parenting your child with deep unrelenting love and generosity of acceptance.

Postpartum is a unique and tender transition time from being a solitary person or couple and evolving into a family.

This doesn't happen overnight and there is much afoot in the making of a high functioning family! There is much work and problem solving as well as depth in experience and rich layers of development creating the foundation of a strong family network.

A doula sees what needs to be done and the missing parts to the nursery and the needs of a recovering mother. Having seen many births, newborns, and recovering mothers, transitional dads and partners -- it truly doesn't matter what the nucleus of a family is made of. What does matter is the ability for each family member to have some sacred space to envision a future and a path for developing high functionality to elevate the growth and dynamic experiences for their child.

If this resonates with you, I invite you to book a call with me to learn more about how Beautify Doula Services can bring your family into a bright and shining future with laying the foundation for the first 40 days of your family's transition!

Below, please find some of the highlights that are part of a seamless making of family routines and rituals which a doula like myself can lead and help facilitate with and for your family:

Birth Doula

(6 weeks prior - birth)

Your Dream & Vision

Together, we map out a dream and vision that outlines what you want to happen during the birth experience.

Moving from a dream to vision that is flexible and understanding that surprise element that birth can always bring.

Together, we make a solid plan for all that you want during your birth experience and move things into a pattern of your identity within your birthing experience, so you feel empowered and comfortable about birthing your child with tangible tools and direction to facilitate an ease in birth.

Preparing For The Big Day

Babies come early and sometimes late. The preparation of mind and soul is complementary to your birth no matter if your birth plan predicts exactly what you experience, or if you wind up having an emergency caesarean.

I prep you for the range of flexibility that you need in birthing during our modern time.

This kind of prep helps you to embrace the inconsistency that birthing a child has 100% of the time. Not everything can be planned and written into an outline. We discuss and plan for many scenarios

The Logistics

Inside each stage of the birthing experience, we find a logical order of all necessary parts of the birth. I learn about your desires and abilities to feel and work through pain. We cultivate techniques together so you understand the primal power each woman possesses to birth a baby.

Leveraging preparation can offer a great deal of confidence in the birthing experience. Eliminating fear which can hold back the process of birthing and create tension, which you do not need during birth.

The Early Newborn Days

(days 0 - 14)

The Early Days

Inside the first few days and weeks of birth, mother and baby are recovering from the natural trauma of the birth experience.

In the best situations, this is still a transition of trauma. The journey to be born and to give birth present obstacles and experiences that mark this time with a personal story and history in the making.

Emergent things happen presenting needs and adjustments in expectations during this time. All of this is common and a great deal of the birth experience is outside of anyone's control.

These are days that a doula helps make the most of these early times to facilitate skin-skin contact to forge a quiet and devoted bond that amelliorates the natural trauma which is part of birthing and being born.

Understanding Baby's Communication

Over the first two weeks, baby becomes confident in their environment when parents and caregivers understand the cues a baby shares within the bodily needs.

A doula helps parents understand the simple cues of readiness to eat and sleep. Establishing high standards for baby's hygiene ensures an ease in transition to the skin biome development postpartum. This is most helpful for preventing early diaper rashes, which can be common for many babies.

Healing Mother's Body & Soul

Within your personal birth experience, mother may find a range of emotions postpartum. Within this, a doula employs both deep listening skills and affirming the unknown landscape that a mother experiences after birth. Sometimes this is effusive deep joy. And the same mother may also feel a deep sense of responsibility and reservations about how to make all of this work.

Modern lives present a host of new requirements on mother to be a breadwinner as well as a breastfeeding mother.

The work I do as a doula invites you to explore your thoughts and emotions in a safe space. Guiding you to a professional to explore and expand your new range of responsibility and feelings with a clinician.

Postpartum

(days 15 - 40)

Eating & Nourishment

By this time, newborns are beginning to find a rhythm in their eating routines. Included inside of these routines are enrichment and physical activity.

Just as important as establishing a latch was in the first two weeks of life, during that time, as well, baby benefits from enriching activity of music, visuals, and exercise of eye tracking. Tummy time takes a bigger form after the first couple of weeks have established the nature of a family transition.

Nursing and bottle feeding go in tandem with establishing a routine for upright time to digest, tummy time to strengthen and tone muscles, as well as enriching auditory and visuals to engage the brain development. I help you establish a high family function for engaging with your baby in these ways multiple times daily.

Skin - To - Skin

Up until the 40th day, we understand that this early bonding time can create a deep sense of security to establish healthy boundaries for both baby and parents.

The key to establishing a deep sense of security lies in reliable routines, and stimulation of sense of touch through skin-to-skin contact napping. This can be done by mom, dad, grandparents, extended family, and your doula. A warm and loving person can fill this need. Parents are #1 for baby to enjoy bonding with synchrony of heart beats. 💞

However, simply allowing baby to feel another person's heart beating can elevate the physical bonding nature for baby with family and extended caregivers.

Sleep

Around the beginning of week 3, establishing a home rhythm around sleep not only helps the caregivers fall into a routine when it will be necessary (at around 6 - 12 weeks), but it also helps to teach baby that there is a household rhythm of sleep that they can expect for each day.

This is a magical part of the doula work to teach parents about the abilities their child has to simply follow routines, as opposed to struggling to "learn" sleep rituals. Babies are better able to adapt to the routines set up by parents and caregivers. "Learning" with discernment comes later on.

Helping families understand appropriate environments to create for a family lifestyle helps to orient baby to the way of the household and be led by their parents.

Nourishment For Parents

Within the work of a doula lies the balancing of lifestyle with and for the parents. This is a part of the work that is deeply satisfying for me, as we all grow when we need to. In this case the presentation of growing into the role of the family means that you need some extra time to absorb the symphony of changes that have been happening

Preparing meals, organizing snacks for breastfeeding mothers, and helping you establish a routine of nourishment for the breastfeeding mother can help foster an ease in your postpartum experience, which can be somewhat stressful for some busy households.

I suggest nurturing recipes full of fiber and vegetables to help establish a robust resources of nutrient-dense food for milk making and body healing!
