POSTPARTUM CARE

Birth is only the beginning. As parents, you’ll spend your life growing alongside your little one. Whether your baby is one day old or one year old, there will always be love and joy and stages of overwhelm and exhaustion.

I’ve been there, being a new parent is hard!  As a postpartum doula, I can support this journey and take care of you so you can focus your energy where it is needed most. I am here to work alongside you and your family as you transition to life at home with your new baby.

I'll offer evidence-based information on infant feeding, sleep and care as well as emotional support and validation of your experiences, as I care for you and baby.

My presence will always be judgement free, meeting you where you are, with each visit tailored to your unique needs.

Postpartum Care Includes:

  • Meet and Greet: free of charge no obligations, Let's get acquainted. It’s important the person you’re choosing to trust with your baby gives you a sense of comfort and confidence.  

  • Postpartum Education: Evidence based guidance through early parenthood, and newborn milestones.

  • Attachment & Bonding: Whether instant or slow to warm the love is there, we can work together to help it shine through 

  • Infant Feeding: Assistance with breastfeeding/chestfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, or whatever combination your journey brings.

  • Process your Birth Story: birth doesn't always go as we envisioned, I offer a listening ear as you work through your experience and help you find peace and power in your story.

  • Light Household Tasks: washing bottles, baby laundry, snack preparation, meal planning and light cleaning 

  • Baby Care: Diaper changes, feeds, help with bathtime or bed time and holding baby,  while you eat/sleep/shower etc .

  • Rest/reset: Holding baby while you eat/shower/sleep/work, or whatever else you need to take care of yourself.

  • Sibling Support: Helping siblings adjust to their new family dynamic and/or caring for baby while parents have some special time with siblings .

  • Connection to Resources: Linking you with community programs and services as requested.

  • Errands: Picking up pre-paid groceries or take-out on route to your house. 

  • Customizable Contract: Flexible evening support hours monday to friday. Additional services may be discussed and added to our contract.
