Certified Postpartum Doula
Trained Newborn Care Specialist

Pleasant Smith

Nurturing You as You Nurture Your Baby

Because every new parent deserves to be cared for, supported, and understood.

Welcoming a new baby into your life is a beautiful and life-changing experience. It is a time filled with love, joy, discovery, and sometimes exhaustion, uncertainty, and overwhelming emotions. While so much attention is given to the newborn, the well-being of the mother and family is just as important.

As a postpartum doula, my role is to provide compassionate, nurturing, and nonjudgmental support as you navigate the early days and weeks after childbirth. My goal is to help you feel confident, rested, supported, and empowered as you adjust to life with your new baby.

Services

A postpartum doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and practical support to families after the arrival of a baby, focusing on the everyday needs of the mother and baby.

Newborn Care and Education

Caring for a newborn can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time parents. I provide gentle, hands-on guidance with newborn care, including:

  • Diapering, bathing, and soothing techniques
  • Understanding your baby’s cues and needs
  • Supporting healthy, safe sleep practices
  • Establishing comfortable daily routines
  • Building confidence in caring for your newborn

Why Postpartum Support Matters

The postpartum period is not only about caring for a newborn. It is also about caring for the person who has given birth, honoring their recovery, and helping the family transition into a new chapter.

Having compassionate support can help reduce everyday stress, create more opportunities for rest, strengthen parenting confidence, and make the early postpartum experience feel less overwhelming.

You were never meant to do it all alone.

My Approach to Postpartum Care

I believe that every mother deserves to feel seen, heard, respected, and cared for. My approach is rooted in kindness, patience, compassion, and respect for your family’s values and choices.

I am not here to take over or tell you how to parent. I am here to walk beside you, offer gentle guidance, lend a helping hand, and remind you that your needs matter, too.

Whether you need emotional reassurance, newborn care guidance, practical assistance, or simply someone to help you find moments of peace in your day, I am here to support you.

Let Me Care for You While You Care for Your Baby

The fourth trimester is a special time of healing, bonding, and transformation. You deserve to experience it with comfort, confidence, and compassionate support.

Let’s make your postpartum journey one where you feel nurtured, empowered, and never alone.

I had done 1:1 coaching sessions with Pleasant and right from the beginning our rapport brings that energy of trust. I felt comfortable enough to relax, I didn’t feel any need to hold back, I felt as if she got me, she understands me and she genuinely wants to help, and I felt as if I wasn’t being judged. My problem was dating. I read her blog about dating and she had really come through. I got the result I was hoping for. I am with this awesome guy that I had met online and we are officially a couple. I have grown since, I am in a better place and I am at a happy place in my life and relationship.

I was introduced to Pleasant by someone that I know, she had worked with Pleasant before and so I got to trust her referral. I must say her strategy was real, her concept of alignment of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual to get a genuine transformational success. She implemented tools that were doable, the process and her energy without a doubt has helped me to release, forgive and heal from my past, to make room for my now awesome husband, who adores me.

I had read Pleasant’s ebook on Detach to Dating, it felt relatable as if she was speaking to me. When we started coaching, there was this connection. It felt as if I had known her along my journey, her story got to me because of the situation I'm going through. Her help was in and out of sessions with follow up calls and reminder emails. I am glad I decided to get help but I am blessam blessedfollow-up I choose to work with Pleasant

My first marriage didn’t work unfortunately, the second one was a disaster. I had told myself that if I had to get help to heal from the trauma so that I could be hurt again, I would rather be alone. So as the years passed I got to be in the company of multiple women with no intention of settling down. I usually give them six months to a year and if she is still around I would break up with her. I see myself getting old fearing a future of isolation and that feeling was scarry, this prompts me to get help. I was referred to Pleasant and I can say this is one of my best decision making. decision-makingscary I am dating again and I see marriage on the horizon.
