Meet Your western CT postpartum Doula

Motherhood should be enjoyable, manageable, and peaceful, but I know firsthand that it can be everything else but that. Along with the immense joy that I experienced every day, I was sleep deprived, mentally and physically exhausted, felt completely overwhelmed, and at times even felt like a failure. Despite suffering from postpartum anxiety and depression, I survived those early months and even years as a new mom, but my goal is to help you and your family not only survive the postpartum period but to thrive!

Being a new mom can be hard and you don't have to do it alone. I am another person-another woman and mother who will sit alongside you providing warmth, empathy, and undivided attention by sharing my skills and knowledge of this sacred time with you. I will care for you, so that you can care for your baby, gaining confidence each day so that you can become the parent that you always imagined, without losing yourself in the process.

This is undoubtedly a very exciting time in your life
and you want the best possible birthing experience.

I am Laura Pastula, a certified birth doula with

3r d year on top 9 doula list

What is a Doula? The word doula comes from the Greek word meaning "maidservant." A doula is a professional woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during and just after childbirth. A doula stays by the laboring woman's side throughout the entire labor, assisting the woman and her partner in carrying out their birth plan.

Doulas of North America (DONA). I work for the pregnant woman (and their partner), and therefore can attend your birth where ever you choose. I have had vigorous training in childbirth and am a mother myself. I've also been trained in hypno-birthing, use of rebozos, spinning babies, aromatherapy, acupressure and take pride in continually updating my skills. I am also a reiki practitioner and easily incorporate the healing energy of reiki into my doula practice at the request of my clients. All of these things help me to be a better assistant and advocate for birthing women.

My goal as a birth doula is to assist you in having the most satisfying birth experience, as you define it! One couple had this to say, "Thank you so much for all of your help and support throughout such an important, magical experience in our life." Please contact me if you would like to find out more about birth doulas and how they can help you during your magical time.

This sculpture is by Irenée Duriez, a Belgian artist. I find it a captivating work of art, portraying the beauty and light in all pregnant women.

Testimonials

Monica and Alexis are godsends. We will be begging both of them to work with us again when we have our second child!

Alexis was our postpartum daytime doula three days a week. She started with us as soon as our son was born, and we ended up extending her contract an extra month because we (and our son) couldn't bear to be without her! She treated our baby as if he was her own; she is his favorite person in the whole world. She did a wonderful job providing mental health support to both myself and my husband, all while still somehow finding time to cook us delicious meals!

Monica was our overnight newborn care specialist. She gave a great sense of security and relief to our family. She was originally scheduled to start 8 weeks after our son's birth, but we begged her to start sooner and she kindly squeezed us into her busy schedule. As a first-time parent, I really appreciated the countless times she provided me invaluable guidance and encouragement. Her network of fellow doulas, baby chiropractors, IBCLCs, babysitters, etc. have also been very helpful.

Overall, I wish I could give them both 10 stars! :-)

Overnight Care

One of the most challenging parts of caring for a newborn is lack of sleep. Our most popular service is Overnight care. We come in to care for your little one overnight while you get some much-needed sleep. During the night we care for all things baby related and support breastfeeding, formula feeding or pumping throughout the night.

Every woman deserves a Supportive birth, postpartum and nursing experience.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Although the term is relatively new, the concept certainly isn't! Women throughout history have understood how valuable it is to support new mothers and their families. A doula embodies this same physical and emotional support - during pregnancy, and birth, and into the postpartum period.

The role of a doula is different than your typical healthcare providers. Doulas don't perform any medical tasks like taking blood pressure or checking heart rate. Instead, they focus on complementing your traditional prenatal care by "filling in the gaps" in a holistic, very personalized way. Some doulas work more in the field of birth, others center more on the postpartum time, and many do both.

Studies have consistently shown the benefits of continuous support to moms during childbirth. The presence of a doula can:

Shorten the duration of labor

Reduce the need for pain medication

Reduce the risk of cesarean by 39%

Lessen the need for medical interventions

In these studies, women who had doula support during labor were 35% more likely to rate their experience as positive.* These effects continue well into the postpartum period.

Before birth

During your pregnancy, your doula will schedule a couple visits with you to talk about your plans for birth and beyond. She's there to listen to any questions or concerns you might have about your pregnancy and your upcoming labor. She'll want to know specifically how she can help you prepare for the birth and care of your baby.

She'll want to know about your birth preferences, how you cope with stress and pain, and the movements and positions you might find most comforting in labor. When you need more information, she can offer you evidence-based resources. You can then feel confident that you're making informed decisions for both you and your baby. She can also help you write up a birth plan that will include what's most important to you.

Your doula is there for family members, too - especially to encourage and assist partners in their unique support role.

During birth

As your due date approaches, your doula will be "on call" for you. She'll arrive at the decided time and place and will remain with you throughout your labor and birth. Because she understands the process, she can bring perspective and reassurance.

She'll help to maintain the kind of environment you need and help you focus with breathing, relaxation, and other comforting techniques. She knows the movements and positions that will help move labor along. Whether you need counterpressure or a cool cloth, her job is to make sure you feel supported and cared for.

While respecting your maternity team, your doula will do her best to make sure your birth plan is honored. She'll also advocate for the best outcome if a change in plan becomes necessary.

After your baby arrives, your doula will stay another 1-2 hours to make sure you're comfortable and settled. If needed, she can help with your baby's first feeding. Within the next 2 weeks, she'll visit to see how you're doing and to talk about your birth experience. Again, she can help with any questions or concerns that you or your family might have. And she can give you information and referrals for additional care and support, if needed.

The "Fourth Trimester"

Once you and baby are home, the most important thing is rest! Your body needs time to heal and recover, and your baby is adjusting to a whole new environment outside the womb. In fact, this is a huge time of transition for the entire family. Everything can feel off balance and even a little scary during this season. This is where a postpartum doula can really make a difference.

Ideally, your doula is hired in advance. Much like a birth doula, she'll visit prenatally to help you make a "postpartum plan." You'll talk about meals, family visits, sibling care, and setting up your home for baby...among many other things. This is also when you'll set up an initial schedule for doula services. Having a postpartum plan in place will be really helpful, especially when you're feeling tired and overwhelmed.

And please...don't run around cleaning up before she comes! Doulas prefer to arrive to a messy home, piled with laundry and dishes...and it's a good sign that you've been taking it easy. When your doula walks in the door, she'll want to hear how you're doing - physically and emotionally...and she'll listen with an understanding heart and an open mind. She'll want to look at your beautiful baby and hear all about your birth experience. There might be a lot to process, but it's important to know that you're seen and heard. She can generally reassure you that what you're experiencing is normal, but she'll also encourage you to check in with your doctor if there are any concerns.

It's no surprise that most of the attention these days will be on the new addition...as it should be! But maybe mom would like to take a nice long shower or get a moment to herself. Maybe an older sibling needs some special attention, too. This isn't the easiest on fathers, either, and everyone's a little short on sleep. A doula is happy to take care of things while Mom and Dad catch a nap, or better yet a good night's sleep!

A postpartum doula will make sure you have a tall glass of water and a healthy snack while you're feeding and snuggling your little one. She can help you with breastfeeding, washing and preparing bottles, diapering, and give you tips for sleep schedules and for soothing a fussy baby. She'll get you caught up on laundry, wash the dishes, play with the toddler, and get a meal started.

These weeks seem to drag on forever...but they're gone so quickly! The postpartum doula's mission is to leave you feeling more confident in yourselves as parents and with healthy connections, so you'll never feel alone in this journey.

Welcome! You Belong Here...

I am a Birth Ambassador. What does that mean? It means that I will walk with you through the "new" land of pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. I will provide you with information and education where needed. I will advocate and translate along the way. I will be diplomatic with your care providers and nurses.

​

I've lived in many different countries of the world and know how to respect and adapt to people's traditions and cultures. I am calm, reliable, knowledgeable, warm and above all I am passionate about birth. I love squishy babies and love caring for mamas and families.

​

"Your birth has the potential to be profoundly transformative in your life. It is the right of every person to have the birth that they desire and to make choices that are best for themselves, their baby, and their family."

Hi, I'm Joyce...

As a young girl living in Rwanda, Africa I would go to maternity clinics to help mothers with their newborns wishing to be able to assist at a birth.

​

After having traveled the world while working for diplomats for many years I quit my job in September 2011 and decided to follow my heart and passion to work with young families especially with pregnant women.

Joyce & Tim

We cannot say enough great things about Joyce. We loved her the moment we interviewed her. To begin, she is impeccably specific and detailed in the services she offers. As nervous future parents, she did a great job of putting us at ease; came to our home and patiently walked us through what to expect during the labor and birthing process. She gave us numerous exercise and body movement regiments to help get the baby in the right position during labor. Additionally, she periodically sent us research and academic papers that addressed different aspects of pregnancy actions and outcomes. She left us with plenty of books and DVDs for us to be more knowledgeable. She was always reachable by phone and email to answer any questions we had. During the labor and postpartum phase, our plans changed and Joyce was very accommodating with that and she stayed with us all through; very practical in her advice. I felt very empowered in my decision making thanks to her. My husband loved the fact that I had support while he dashed out to get food, shower/change clothes etc. Really helped baby latch on and checked up on us once we got home which we really appreciated. She also was a good reference source for us. To sum it up, it felt like having a friend, sister, mum, advisor all in one! Would definitely call Joyce again for baby number two.

Natalie Telyatnikov

Joyce was by far the best doula I ever had, and I've had 3!!!! She REALLY listened to what I said I wanted during our prenatal visits together, and then, she delivered on every count PLUS even went above and beyond that, during my birth! She really blew me away and exceeded my expectations. Throughout my labor, she never left my side... and she was completely dialed-in and in-tune with my needs at every turn. Her attentiveness, focus, and gentle, supportive presence was my everything. Plus, she made suggestions that single-handedly changed the course of my birth for the better! She is so knowledgeable and attentive -- the perfect doula to have in your corner! Anyone would be lucky to have Joyce at their birth. I could not recommend her highly enough!!!

Ashe Birthing Services is a collective vision birthed between two sister-friends, Emilie and Griselda, in 2016. Today, it has grown into a community of specially selected birth workers that work together to provide full spectrum services to our families. We are an extension of our village, and we extend that as well to our clients. Our respective experiences as doulas and mothers exposed us to the reality that doulas offer a level of care that is vital, yet under-utilized, within U.S. maternal care. For us, doulas are magic makers. Our presence can drastically enhance the birthing person's experiences. A doula's role during birth is to make sure that the person knows that the sensations they are experiencing, which can often be intense and sometimes frightening, are all natural parts of the process of birthing new life on earth.

At Ashe Birthing Services, we believe that doulas play the part of the proverbial village. We offer a type of feminine energy that, we would attest to personally, creates a sense of peace and encouragement for the birthing person. We are trained in various modalities related to birth and postpartum care. Herbal remedies, lactation, and aromatherapy are some of the many things we rely on when providing support during and after birth.

At Ashe Birthing Services, we create a balance between evidence-based research and ancestral practices. This allows us to offer families a unique individual experience that is often missing in mainstream maternal care. Each of our packages are curated to fit the specific needs of each client.

Services

I pride myself in providing you and your partner with the utmost care, support and resources before, during and after the birthing process. My goal is to make the transition into parenthood as stress-free as possible so you (and your partner if applicable) may have an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

​

POSITIVE BIRTH EXPERIENCE

Becoming a parent is such a momentous and pivotal moment in your life, so making it a positive experience carries long term benefits. Knowledge is empowerment, so it is important to do your research and implement a birth plan using evidenced-based information on topics such as pain medications and other interventions. A positive birth is possible when a person feels they have freedom of choice, access to accurate information, and that they are in control, powerful and respected. You can have a positive caesarean, positive hospital birth or a positive home water birth.

​

EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL SUPPORT

Numerous studies show that doulas can reduce the length of labor, decrease the likelihood of C-sections, and lessen the need for medications or interventions. For most of their hospital stay, birthers are unaccompanied by a doctor or nurse so your doula is the only one accompanying you consistently throughout the entire labor experience. Your doula provides emotional support while also providing hands-on comfort techniques, breathing exercises and other active strategies during labor.

​

Birth Consultations

Be Informed and Empowered

Research has shown that the more a birthing person is part of the decision-making process during birth, the happier they will be with the outcome, no matter what interventions may have been needed. Yet there are so many different topics to be informed about and navigate throughout this experience. Where should I birth? How do I find a good OB or midwife? Do I need childbirth and/or newborn care classes? How should I prepare for the postpartum period?

Consult with a professional as we have a client-led consult to explore your options and get answers to your biggest questions and concerns. The knowledge and resources I can provide you with will immediately help you feel more confident, knowledgeable and prepared for your pregnancy and birthing journey.

During our client-led consultation we can discuss a wide variety of topics such as:

* what your ideal birth looks like and how to map out a birth plan that best suits your needs and desires;

* procedures you are comfortable with or not comfortable with and how to discuss with your medical care provider;

* professional advice on topics such as optimal fetal positioning, inductions, postpartum planning, birth providers in your area, packing your hospital bag, last minute birth support FAQ, local resources available for labor, delivery and postpartum.

Fee: $200 home visit / $100 virtually

Birth Doula Packages

​

Prenatal: Our initial meeting ( in person or virtually) will be personalized to fit your needs and very much client-led as every pregnancy is different. I take the time to get to know you, your fears, expectations and concerns. We will cover a wide variety of pregnancy topics, discuss your options and local resources and even map out a birth plan if desired.

​

Labor and Birth: We can assess progress of labor and discuss timing your arrival at your birth place. I will provide ongoing emotional and physical support at your birth place, an explanation of options and practical suggestions to partner, provide verbal encouragement, massage techniques and comfort measures. I remain with you an average of one-and-a-half hours following childbirth to help you with the transition, begin the breastfeeding process and encourage bonding while also helping facilitate a calm and positive environment.

Postpartum: We have one final visit ( in person or virtually) within the first two weeks of postpartum to process your birth experience and discuss reinforcement of accomplishments in labor, birth, and parenting. I can provide referrals, resources and information and go over breastfeeding and newborn care basics if desired. You will still be free to call or e-mail me anytime after the baby arrives with any questions or concerns you may have.

​

Labor and Birth: We can assess progress of labor and discuss timing your arrival at your birth place. I will provide ongoing emotional and physical support at your birth place, an explanation of options and practical suggestions to partner, provide verbal encouragement, massage techniques and comfort measures. I remain with you an average of one-and-a-half hours following childbirth to help you with the transition, begin the breastfeeding process and encourage bonding while also helping facilitate a calm and positive environment.

Prenatal: We will have one virtual meeting around 36 weeks which will be personalized to fit your needs and very much client-led as every pregnancy is different. We will cover a wide variety of topics including, but not limited to, different labor comfort techniques, early vs. active labor, timing your arrival to your birth place, your birth plans and preferences, advocating for yourselves in your birthing place and how your partner (if applicable) can best physically and emotionally support you throughout labor and childbirth. I am available via phone/text/email for discussions, questions and emotional support from the moment I am retained and will be on call 24 hours a day for your labor from four weeks before your due date up until you give birth.

​

Labor and Birth: I will provide up to six (6) hours of intermittent virtual support as needed throughout your labor and childbirth. This virtual support entails professional advice, tips and emotional support throughout early labor, active labor and childbirth, such as navigating early labor while at home, timing your arrival at your birth place, different labor comfort techniques and laboring positions to try, breath work, pushing cues, facilitating clear communication and advocacy between you and your medical provider, and assisting your partner so they can feel calm and helpful in how support you throughout the process. After childbirth, I will remain virtually available as needed to help you with the transition, the breastfeeding process and help facilitate a calm, positive environment.

My Story

After birthing three children within a time span of five years, I couldn't help but recognize how overwhelming pregnancy, childbirth and parenting in general can be. I also had an unfavorable birthing experience with my first child. I was young, under-supported with financially limited options and felt "under-qualified" to be part of labor and delivery decision making. I simply left everything up to my obstetrician. I was told what to do and what not to do, what to take, where to go and even when to push. I was rarely asked for consent, but rather told what they were doing to me as they decided to do it. It all felt so clinical, as if I was in the hospital due to an illness rather than a healthy, natural event. I felt lonely, helpless and scared for three days straight. Needless to say, the experience left me wondering what could have been done differently and what choices each pregnant mother has to create a more empowered, positive birthing experience.

​

The moment I discovered doula work, it gave me a sense of relief learning that our society has a support system specially geared for the mother to be guided and assisted through this journey. I personally feel that our culture has brainwashed us to believe that childbirth is simply a painful burden to endure. (Cue television and movie clips where the laboring woman is screaming bloody murder and everyone is rushing around her as if there is a scary emergency to be remedied.) However, with the right knowledge and support, there can be such beauty and empowerment that comes with knowing all of your choices and feeling in control while fully trusting that your body has the capability and the strength to do exactly what it's meant to do - create new life and make miracles happen.

​

In 2019, I became a certified labor doula (CLD) through CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association). Shortly thereafter, I completed CAPPA's postpartum doula training program so I could better assist my clients, friends and loved ones postpartum. I actively attend workshops, courses and continuing education classes on childbirth, hypnobirthing, fetal positioning, breastfeeding, postpartum, baby care basics and holding space for pregnancy loss in the Fairfield County, CT area. I am also certified in Reiki levels I & II.

I am passionate about childbirth and I work incredibly hard to ensure that my clients have a positive and memorable birth experience however they may envision that to look like. My goal is for you to feel informed, respected and for your voice to be heard by your birthing team in your chosen birth environment.

With my first birth came an unplanned, very traumatic emergency c-ssection which led me to my interest in learning all about the birthing world. My successful VBAC with my second birth was the most beautiful thing and it inspired me to finally become a doula, especially after having the best doula by my side. I've been on the complete opposite ends of the birthing world. The worst but also the best. My personal experiences along with my certification through A Wise Woman Way of Birth will allow me to be the optimal support person during your most vulnerable time.
