Jier Y. | Postpartum Doula in Somerville, MA

I am sociology phd student from Boston College. I become interested in postpartum care work as my friends began to make plans about babies. Many of them do not have relatives nearby, and I want to be able to support them as they welcome new family members. I thought "what better gift can I provide than professional care and advice?" So, I decided to become certified as a postpartum doula. As I entered the world of postpartum care, I began to wonder how else I could support both mothers and doulas. I started a research project hoping to understand the role of postpartum doulas play in this transition period for families. If you are hiring postpartum doulas or identify as a postpartum doula yourself, please reach out to me for more information on how to participate in the study. I hope my research can help doulas and mothers everywhere.
