I’m pregnant!
But where do I get the support that I need?
Come to The Resting Garden
We provide pregnancy support, education and the early postpartum support you need, because right now, Black and Brown birthing people are dying 4 times faster than their white counterparts, and without advocacy tools, tailored education and access to quality doula support this will remain an issue.
With doula support you get:
Emotional support via calls and texts
Supporting with educational questions about labor
Childbirth education
Birth Planning
Postpartum Planning and Strategizing
Household management and support
Newborn care and education
Sleep support
Meal planning
Go from unsure and uneducated
about birth options to confident
and knowledgeable!
