Angela Lewis is a postpartum doula based in Houston, TX. Angela is patient which allows her to provide a calm and nurturing environment. Angela responds quickly to the parent's concerns and will adjust care plans to meet each newborn's needs.
Angela has five years of experience working as a childcare provider (owning a daycare and working in daycare centers as an infant teacher). She has experience working with multiple infants at one time - adhering to feeding and sleep schedules, diapering, creating an infant learning curriculum, and keeping parents updated on the progression/development of their child.
Angela has strong communication skills, which enables her to effectively educate parents on newborn care topics, such as breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and sleep routines. Angela can articulate information clearly and concisely to ensure parents feel confident and empowered in caring for their newborns. Lastly, Angela's excellent time-management abilities allow her to prioritize tasks and maintain a structured routine, which is crucial in providing consistent and reliable care to newborns.
I have chosen to be a postpartum doula because I understand the significance of creating a nurturing environment and fostering positive relationships with both parents and newborns. As a mother who suffered postpartum depression, I understand firsthand that new parents may need additional support during the postpartum period. Having a strong support system and providing a nonjudgmental space for families to express concerns about the birthing process, parenthood, and mental health is beneficial in preventing negative outcomes for the parents and the baby.
