Postpartum Support

As a postpartum doula, I:
  • Know birth recovery and how bodies heal after birth. I draw on my knowledge and experience of the postpartum period to help you rest and heal in the best way for you and your family.
  • Know newborn care - I can help answer questions, provide assistance, and most importantly, reassure you that you are doing a great job as a new parent!
  • Assist you and your partner in carrying out a postpartum plan: this includes drawing on the community that you already have, reflecting on your family/heritage/chosen family's postpartum healing traditions, and deciding what is best for you and your family.
  • Offer individualized hands-on care: I meet with you to make a plan that works with the rhythm of your life - sometimes this means doing laundry throughout the day or cooking a nourishing meal.
  • As a Certified Lactation Counselor, I provide individualized lactation support if you choose to breastfeed. 
  • Listen to your concerns in creating a safe, non-judgmental space. There is nothing you can't share with me about your experience - I want to hear all of your joys, concerns, little and big accomplishments, and frustrations.
  • Connect you to resources in the community.
  • Serve as an ally for you and your family, in and outside the hospital setting.

  • 2 to 4 hour shifts of daytime postpartum care that can include anything from:
    • Self care support and problem-solving
    • Breast/chestfeeding support and instruction
    • Infant care and sleep support
    • Light household chores (laundry, tidying, grocery shopping, cooking)
    • Nutritional support, including providing and sharing nourishing meals for you and your family
    • Respite care (attending to your baby as you take time for yourself if needed)
    • Referrals
    • Sibling care (reaching out to care providers or community members for support or providing occasional childcare and support)
  • The option of adding additional hours at the rate of $30/hour, depending on my availability
  • And whatever is needed in the moment! Postpartum is a time of many unknowns, and I am here to walk beside you.
