"Birth is not only about making babies.
Birth is about making mothers.
Strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves
and know their inner strength."

Beyond the 4th
A lot can change in the first year postpartum.
Many women don’t experience PPD/PPA until after the 4th trimester and many more experience a shift or loss of identity. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone!
I offer mental health check-ins and identity crisis support beyond the 4th trimester so that you don’t have to go through it alone. I will help you explore your new self and find peace and joy in this new phase of life.
Contact me for more information and to find out if it’s a good fit for you.

Jerrica Dennison
Postpartum Doula and Educator
Hi! I’m Jerrica Dennison!

FAQs

Great question! Birth doulas typically only attend the birth of the baby- at home, in a birthing center or in a hospital. A postpartum doula cares for you and your family post birth. We are there to nurture, educate and assess the needs of the entire family. We can help you plan and prepare for postpartum before you have the baby. Some postpartum doulas cook light meals, tidy, do the baby’s laundry and/or occupy older siblings while you care for your new baby.
As your doula, I will preform the above tasks and answer any questions you have about newborn care, assess your mental health on a weekly basis and help you navigate this beautiful (and challenging) phase of life. <3
Specific services may vary by doula so it’s best to interview 3+ before choosing who to work with.
