The fourth trimester is a tender, transformative period — one that deserves just as much support as pregnancy and birth. In this blog, we discuss how postpartum doulas offer gentle, grounding care during those early weeks at home. From emotional reassurance and practical help to newborn guidance and family support, postpartum doulas nurture the whole household, with a special focus on the birthing parent’s healing and well-being. Because you were never meant to navigate postpartum alone.

Parenthood is a lifelong journey filled with love, growth, and tender chaos. At The Nurturing Company, we believe in nurturing parents too. These 60 affirmations offer soft reminders of your strength and purpose through every season, reminding you that you’re not alone and that your work truly matters.

At The Nurturing Company, we use the Co-Doula Model of Care, which involves two doulas working together to support each client as a team. Read our blog to discover how this model benefits our clients!

The birth story of The Nurturing Company goes all the way back to 2022 and a cup of coffee. We’re excited to share our origin story with you and dream together about what the future might hold for the Grand Rapids birth scene and all of the sweet babies yet to be born.
