Postpartum Doula Support
What is a postpartum doula?
A postpartum doula fills a crucial gap in our maternal healthcare system. Too often, women are left to navigate the transition from pregnancy to postpartum life with little support beyond their partner. In many cultures, a strong network of women naturally steps in to care for new mothers—but in the United States, this kind of built-in support is far less common. Every new mother deserves the care, guidance, and reassurance that a postpartum doula provides.
What does a postpartum doula do?
This will vary greatly from family to family. My focus will be to support you (and therefore your baby, partner and any children) in your physical recovery and emotional adjustment to having a new baby. If you are a first-time parent your needs will be different than those of a seasoned parent. Part of my work is to assess how everything is going in your home but also to empower you in your decision-making and your self-advocacy.

Daytime Care
Adjusting to life at home with your newborn can be overwhelming, and every mom and baby has their own unique needs. Our daytime support is all about helping you adjust and settle back in at home with your new baby. This may include light housekeeping, feeding support, lactation guidance, and postpartum check-ins. Our goal is to give you the time and space to focus on healing and bonding with your baby, while we take care of the rest—providing support and reassurance every step of the way. Let us help make this precious time more restful and full of love.

Overnight Care
For families who need support during the night, our overnight care offers the comforting reassurance that your little one is in loving, capable hands. Our certified and experienced doulas focus on your baby’s needs—whether it's feeding, soothing, changing diapers, or gently putting them back to sleep—so you can rest deeply and wake refreshed. We’ll even take care of the little things, like cleaning bottles or pump parts, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Virtual Postpartum Support
As your virtual postpartum doula, I’m here to walk alongside you in those tender early weeks, offering compassionate support no matter where you are. Through video calls and easy check-ins, I provide guidance on newborn care, feeding, and sleep, while also holding space for your emotions and helping you feel seen and supported. I share nourishing meal ideas, holistic recovery tips, and gentle ways to create rhythms that work for your unique family. Whether you have questions in the middle of the night or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to remind you that you’re not alone, and you’re doing an incredible job.
What will my visits look like?
The beauty of this relationship is that I cater to your needs in the postpartum period. In our prenatal visit we will discuss any particular needs that you anticipate and put a plan in place to address them once baby is home. We will continually evaluate as we work together once you have brought your baby home, and adjust things as necessary. A visit in your home might include (but is not limited to) the following:
✔ gentle guidance with diapering and baby’s first bath
✔ working with you on how to swaddle your baby
✔ practice loading baby in and out of the car seat and stroller
✔ exploring different baby wearing techniques
✔ work through any feeding concerns, whether breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or combo-feeding
✔ soothe and care for baby while you take a much-needed nap or relaxing shower
✔ prepare nourishing, simple meals
✔ tidy up any dishes in the sink
✔ wash and fold laundry so you don’t have to
✔ hold space for you to rest, breathe, and take time for yourself
