Question
What are the signature techniques Shari Stamps uses as a doula?
Answer
As a doula, I use a variety of techniques to support expecting and postpartum families. One of my signature approaches is combining my expertise in various areas such as postpartum, lactation, myofunctional therapy & airway, oral ties, craniosacral therapy, maternal mental health, and sleep & wellbeing.
For example, during birth, I'm a big fan of physical support and guided meditation/words of affirmation. I also use different ways to apply massage for comfort measures.
In the postpartum period, I focus on listening to the parents' needs, helping with recommendations, and relieving any anxiety or stress surrounding household chores, appointments, post-birth healing, feelings, or baby care.
Remember, every family is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet their specific needs. Would you like to know more about a specific technique or aspect of my doula practice?
