A Bit About Blue Skies Doula
Nurturing Care
Welcome! Congratulations to you during this exciting time of your life! My name is Natasha Johnson, the owner of Blue Skies Doula. I have spent my life helping families and women in a variety of ways. I have always been inspired by the strength of women and the miracle of birth. I firmly believe that, given the right tools and support, the birth experience can be both comfortable and joyous.

I’m here to provide unbiased information and emotional support that benefits women and families during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.

Blue Skies Doula Services
I'm pleased to offer Birth and Postpartum Doula services, as well as Doula care for women and couples experiencing infertility, adopting parents, and women considering making an adoption plan for their baby.
Continuous Support
As your Birth Doula, I provide personalized and unwavering support to you and your family before, during, and after the birth of your child. Our initial meeting and prenatal visits will provide the foundation upon which I can tailor my birth services to meet your needs, as each birth is different. For some women, a home birth is preferred and others choose to deliver in a hospital. Whatever you own choice, I will join you for your labor and stay with you, offering emotional support and physical assistance, to both you and your partner. I will also stay for the first few hours after birth to help you get settled with your new baby and assist with the beginning of the establishment of breastfeeding, if you so choose.
Postpartum Support
Ongoing Care
The three months following birth is often referred to as the '4th Trimester.' This is such a special time for your and your family. It can be full of happiness and excitement and also exhaustion and lots of questions and concerns. As your Postpartum Doula, I provide evidenced based information on topics such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother–baby bonding, infant soothing, basic newborn care, and integration with older siblings. I am available to help your new family in those first days and weeks after bringing home your new baby.

If you are expecting and considering making a plan for adoption for your baby, this is an emotional time.
