Postpartum Doula Support Services in Birmingham, Alabama
Postpartum is a sacred transition, not just recovery. My mission is to accompany you with calm presence and soulful support so you are seen, heard, and held. Here in Birmingham and surrounding communities, I walk with a limited number of families so your early weeks are marked by gentleness, trust, and restoration.
All postpartum doula services at Eleison are personally provided by Rachel Bailey, certified doula and founder of Eleison Doula Services.
Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, these tender days and nights don’t have to leave you feeling overwhelmed. With your doula’s calm guidance for days, evenings, and overnights, you’ll find clarity and confidence, making choices that reflect your family’s values and creating a secure foundation for your family.
