Postpartum Care
As your postpartum doula, my job is to help you flow into life with a new baby! Whether you have no experience with newborns or you have older children, I can create a seamless transition for all. I help take some of the weight off your shoulders so you can rest, heal, and bond.
Some things I assist with during Day Shifts:
-
processing your birth
-
baby care tips
-
feeding education
-
washing, folding, and putting away laundry
-
household and nursery organization
-
giving older siblings and pets a bit of extra attention
-
washing and sanitizing bottles and pump parts
-
preparing snacks & meals
-
grocery shopping/ordering
-
providing local resources
-
going to pediatrician/chiropractor/lactation/etc. appointments with you
​
Some things I assist with during Night Shifts:
-
getting you deep, restful sleep
-
helping your baby learn how to sleep on a flat surface, and staying up and snuggling them when they are struggling to sleep alone
-
processing your birth
-
feeding education
-
baby care tips
-
folding laundry
-
washing and sanitizing bottles and pump parts
-
providing local resources

Postpartum Prep Session:
Postpartum Prep is a 3 hour private in-home​ session taking place in the third trimester where we discuss the first few months after birth. We will talk about your feeding goals (bottle feeding, breastfeeding, pumping), realistic expectations for newborn sleep, how to share the load of parenting, postpartum mental health, and newborn care tips and tricks. This is a great option for first time parents and people who want a refresher on the newborn phase!
​
Evening or Morning Shift:
This type of care is great for families with young kids - the evening hours during dinner, bath, and bedtime and the morning hours of waking up, making breakfast, and getting kids off to school are some of the hardest for parents with a new baby in the house! Having an extra set of hands to help cook, do laundry, play with siblings, or even just hold the baby (especially helpful if your baby has typical "witching hours") can help you start or finish the day with ease.
