In short: a postpartum doula is your support person, there to walk with you as you navigate the tender early days of postpartum.

I fiercely believe that new parents deserve emotional, physical, practical, and informational care in their home. They deserve rest, and encouragement, and nurturing. This is where the postpartum doula comes in!

Postpartum doulas wear many hats! I am trained to understand and tend to the needs of newborns and their families, and it’s my goal to tailor the specifics of what I do to help you achieve the postpartum experience you hope for!

This can include:

A prenatal visit to develop a detailed fourth-trimester plan

Emotional support

Infant feeding & lactation support

Infant sleep support

Evidence-based newborn and postpartum guidance

Baby care (to prioritize parent rest!)

Home upkeep assistance such as basic house chores, organization, pet care (to prioritize parent & baby bonding!)

Whole-family care (a new baby is an adjustment for the whole family! This can look like partner and sibling support, as well as support with extended family)

Multiples assistance
