Postpartum Doula Services
My main priority is to provide personalized support to parents and their newborns in the ways that make sense for them and their specific lifestyle/parenting goals.
I want you feeling empowered and confident in your choices, so I’ll be there to offer guidance, and evidence-based recommendations.
As a postpartum doula and newborn/infant care specialist, I pride myself on offering non-judgemental emotional, physical, and informational support.
My clients receive a wealth of knowledge from a professional that’s experienced with breastfeeding, formula feeding, and exclusively pumping; the mental & physical recovery aspect after just giving birth; infant soothing techniques; general newborn care; sleep coaching, etc!
Support can look like:
•Organizing baby’s nursery; setting up their changing table; putting baby’s laundry in their dresser & organized by size.
•Loading/unloading the dishwasher, hand washing bottles or pump parts.
•Folding a load of laundry
•Caring for baby while you shower/nap/run errands.
•Helping you get comfortable with basic newborn tasks like baths, nail trims, burping, soothing, and swaddling.
•Meal prep
•Taking care of baby overnight while you get some much needed sleep
DAYTIME SUPPORT
This package is for those who are wanting an experienced postpartum doula who can come during the day. What we do during your time is totally up to you! We can talk over some coffee about how you’re doing mentally, physically, or emotionally after birth. How the baby is doing with feeding and if there’s any concerns there. We can discuss sleep, and make sure you’re getting enough of it. Perhaps you would love to take a shower in peace and get ready for the day so you & your spouse can go on a lunch date? Or maybe you’d like to hand baby to someone you know is competent and responsible, so you can go and take a nap for 4 hours…? This is all about you!
Minimum 4 hour shift during the day. Support can be for as little as 20 hours, and as much as 200 hours!
Investment: $35/hour
OVERNIGHT SUPPORT
Overnights are another option and those can be anywhere from 8-12 hours depending on your needs. Overnights are amazing as you get to do this however you’d like!
Exclusively breastfeeding? No problem! I’ll bring baby to you for every feed during the night and once they’re done, I’ll take them right back for burping & soothing, swaddling, diaper change if necessary, and get them back down to sleep. It’s a great opportunity to teach you and baby a bedtime routine and lay the foundation for good nighttime sleep.
If you’re bottle feeding, you can sleep the entire night (unless waking to pump), and I will handle every single feed. You can literally get uninterrupted sleep a few nights a week if you so choose, and I am happy to be able to provide this service to parents when they are really struggling with the sleep deprivation.
Minimum 8hr shift overnight. Support can be for as little as 16 hours, and as much as 320 hours! Totally customizable .
Investment: $40/hr
