Mama Liv | Postpartum Doula Care

Kat semble née pour être une doula postpartum. Dès après la naissance de Bébé, elle est venue chez nous de une à trois fois par semaine pour nous aider avec l’épicerie, la cuisine, prendre soin de bébé pendant que maman dort, et parfois s’occuper de la plus vieille en plus. Ça n’était pas rare de la voir cuisiner dans 3 casseroles en même temps, avec Bébé dans le porte-bébé, avec ma plus vieille qui essaie de l’aider dans la cuisine! Elle a très vite compris les spécificités de notre famille, et a souvent pris des initiatives très adaptées. On aurait presque cru qu’elle était dans ma tête! Ça a diminué considérablement ma charge mentale, et dans cette période où on se sent facilement dépassé, c’était très précieux. De plus, j’ai été traitée aux petits oignons avec des massages relaxants à l’huile de lavande, des mélanges d’huiles essentielles thérapeutiques, et des tas de recettes spécialement conçues pour la période postpartum! On se rappellera notamment le fameux ragoût de jarret de porc (mon préféré!) pour lequel elle allait me chercher des morceaux à la boucherie près de chez elle à chaque semaine. Et comme si ça n’était pas assez, j’ai pu profiter avec Kat de conversations d’adulte (il faut être parent pour savoir à quel point ça peut manquer dans les premiers mois après une naissance), avec quelqu’un qui est aussi une maman, et une professionnelle passionnée. C’était inévitable, c’est devenue une amie de la famille. Merci Kat, et à bientôt, j’espère!

Look no further for your postpartum doula! My husband and I highly recommend Katharina/Mama Liv to any family looking for additional support with their little ones.Kat was such an amazing help to our family in the weeks following our hospital discharge. She is an attentive listener, provided useful and practical feedback and was great with follow-ups by email and text to help ease stress and doubt in those few weeks at home with a new baby. We felt totally comfortable and at ease working with her.Kat is incredibly knowledgeable and helped us immensely with things like troubleshooting baby carriers, provided detailed follow-up emails after each session, and has an impressive rolodex of contacts for addition support: lactation consultants, osteopaths, PTs and more! She's also a whiz in the kitchen and makes a fantastic bone broth and delicious lactation treats, too! Most importantly, she wonderful with our baby girl, and provided her with loving care while we were able to get some much needed rest.Postpartum can be a challenging time for families, and choosing the right doula is key! Kat was such a warm and calming presence in our home and made those first few weeks so much easier for us...she's a real gem!

I don't even know where to begin! Kat's services were given to me as a postpartum gift, a gift I didn't even know I needed at the time.Instantly in our initial meeting, I felt such a comfortability and connection with Kat.Our sessions together were amazing, baby was incredibly comfortable and calm with her as well. It takes a village to raise a child as well as a mother. As mamas we often forget about our needs. Self-care sometimes looks like others taking care of you <3

Kat is incredible. She helped tremendously when we suddenly found ourselves without our initial postpartum doula. Kat not only filled in at the last moment (even though she was already in super high demand), but also helped when our daughter had a difficult case of GERD, and when my wife had a stroke when our daughter was only three weeks old. In a dark, challenging, scary period in our lives, Kat was there for us. We’ll never forget or stop being grateful for her kindness, calm, knowledgeable, and steady presence during what can be (for us, at least) not only a magical family era, but a difficult one. We HIGHLY recommend you bring Kat into this special and intimate time in your lives: it’s the best decision we made, other than deciding to have a baby.

Kat support me and my little for 20 days , I can’t imagine my self survive this time without her support, she iswarm, professional,kind , and give us all the support we need .Through this experience, Kat went from a doula to becoming our friend, I can still connect with her to ask questions.Me and my family will be forever grateful that she was present with us. We highly, highly recommend her.

Kat was such a blessing and support during my postpartum journey. She made nourishing food, took care of my newborn, and provided much-needed rest time for me. Most importantly, she provided a kind and gentle emotional support that I needed during the difficult and isolating postpartum months. Thank you, Kat!

Kat has a warm and knowledgeable presence and provided a type of support we only wish we had with our first child. We were her first twin family, and she was expertly holding both newborns together in the first hour as if she had been doing it forever. We will remember all your care and kindness of these crazy first months and recommend you wholeheartedly to both new and experienced parents.

Kat is a very talented postpartum doula and a phenomenal human being! Kat has a beautiful way of supporting mamma in whichever way is needed! Whether through childcare, cooking delicious meals or through active listening! When my baby was 4months old, I needed to spend a few hours away from home to have a minor surgery. This was the 1st time that I was away from my baby and Kat stepped in, in my absence. We prepared a plan ahead of time together and my heart was at ease!I only have the most wonderful things to say about Kat! Every mamma (especially first time mammas) need a Kat in their lives! :-)
