Postpartum Doula Support

What to Expect

As a postpartum doula I offer physical and emotional support during the fourth trimester.  I walk alongside you and help you in the ways you need it during this beautiful, but sometimes challenging time.

Some of the ways I can help during Postpartum support

  • Continuous physical and emotional support (listening to your birth story, your fears/frustrations/concerns, observing your postpartum recovery, etc.)
  • Baby care education and support (assist in bathing, feeding, comforting the baby, cutting baby's nails, organizing the nursery/your home, etc.)
  • Breastfeeding or supplementing support
  • Preparing simple, nutritious meals and snacks
  • Providing information about postpartum nutrition and recipes for simple, nutritious meals
  • Maintaining simple housework (laundry, emptying garbage, straightening up the house, light dishes, etc.)
  • Watching the baby so you and/or your partner can rest
  • Lending library of reading materials
  • Referrals to other professionals as needed
  • Unlimited telephone, text, and email contact

I offer Postpartum support during the day or overnight depending on your location and my availability. Day sessions are a 4-hour minimum with a 2 day/week minimum; and overnights are an 8-hour minimum with a 2 day/week maximum.
