Postpartum Doula Services
As your Postpartum Doula, I will support the entire family during the “fourth trimester” by providing emotional, physical, and informational support. This includes prenatal visits to help you prepare for postpartum, hospital visits to support you immediately after birth, and postpartum visits to help you transition into your new life with a tiny human.
Postpartum care is generally scheduled as 4-8 hours a day as needed to help the new family. During a shift, I can be found doing household chores, meal preparation, baby care, or helping you process your birth story. I offer completely unbiased, evidence-based support and education to empower you to be the parent you want to be.
Sleep Training
When your child is older than 6 months and you’ve tried it all, I can come in and help reset the household.
