Postpartum support, tailored to your family
Welcome to one of the most exciting, joyful, exhilarating, and, yes, sometimes exhausting and overwhelming periods of your life. For thousands of years, it took a village to support a new parent and baby, and for good reason. Now, that village might look very different, or not exist at all. But you’re definitely not meant to do this alone!
As a postpartum doula, I am here to provide the whole family with evidence-based information and emotional, educational, and physical support. I offer flexible daytime hours designed to meet you exactly where you're at in your journey. This includes:
Education on the basics, including diapering, bathing, swaddling, pumping, bottle-feeding, infant calming techniques, best sleep practices, and baby-wearing
Lactation support and encouragement
Regular mental health check-ins for all new parents in the household
A calm, empathetic ear and emotional support while you process the birth experience and/or newness of being a parent
Help understanding your needs and boundaries
Sibling integration
Light housekeeping duties, including infant laundry and bottle washing
Occasional snack and meal prep or grocery shopping
Referrals to a host of additional services you may need
My ultimate goal is to help you gain confidence in early parenthood, whatever that looks like for you!
