Imagine having a postpartum doula as a personal guide by your side after the birth of your baby. Someone compassionate who will care for you as you heal. Someone with experience who will provide breastfeeding support and teach you how to care for your precious baby. Someone with insight who will address your concerns, answer your questions and lighten the load as you begin your journey into motherhood. I will gently counsel you and your husband/partner through the highs and lows with patience, warmth, humor, and understanding.
With two sons, two beautiful grandchildren, and over 40 families supported as a postpartum doula, I look forward to meeting your new family.
~ Dina D. Toy, Postpartum Doula
"Dina’s doula services were an invaluable part in helping us to develop as capable and effective parents for our newborn during those sleep-deprived first few months." - Evan
“I initially planned on interviewing other postpartum doulas but after Dina I didn't need to meet anyone else: she was perfect. Dina was so nurturing and loving with our baby and helped us transition to our new roles as parents. She helped with visiting grandparents, giving them the tools to best connect with their new grandchild. She addressed my questions and concerns with evidence-based information and gently shared tips and information with me if I was in a new-mom haze and needed a boost. I cannot recommend Dina enough!” - Caitlin M.
"Dina is such a pro but for me, what makes her so special is her warmth, gentleness, and loving energy. Her doula work isn’t just a job, it is her passion and it shows. It touched my heart to see how tender and loving she was with Jack. Dina left a lasting impression on our family and we are so grateful for our time with her." - Jane
“Dina has been invaluable to us and truly helped our baby to thrive. She has a depth of knowledge into infant/baby care and is current on the latest research (something I really appreciate). But expertise aside, she brings thoughtfulness and passion to her work, has high ethical standards and professionalism, and all with a warm presence and delightful personality. I also really appreciated how much she supported my own healing and transition into motherhood.” - Ginnie G.
