Re: Last minute whole family doula support

Re: Last minute support

I want to write a quick open letter to our website visitors about the last minute support that Main Line Doulas offers. This week we were able to serve 3 last minute clients, yay! We pride ourselves on meeting families were they are at.

As a postpartum doula and the director of our wonderful team of doulas serving Philadelphia and beyond, it is my passion to help families during this beautiful transition. Adding a new child is never easy, but it's always worth the new adjustments.

For those reading this and finding themselves feeling overwhelmed or exhausted or struggling, please reach out. Send us a text or give us a call. It's truly an honor to be able to support families at such an important time in their lives.

Not everyone has the proper support they need and deserve. This can create an unexpected crisis for families. It's one of my goals that Main Line Doulas educate the public about all of the  available options for support so that expecting families can make the best decisions for their family.

In an ideal world, Main Line Doulas will meet with expecting families months in advance, begin a service agreement and participate in a postpartum planning session. But sometimes families don't know about us before they have their baby, or maybe they just didn't think they'd want or need a postpartum doula until now. If you fall into either catagory, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here for you.

Feeling like you need support? Send me a text at 484-802-6100 or email me at aliza@mainlinedoulas.com and I'll check our availability.

It would be an honor to provide experienced support, by your side.

Warmly,
Aliza Bancoff
Founder and Director
Main Line Doulas
