Postpartum Doula
As your postpartum doula, I provide physical, emotional, and informational support during the weeks and months after your baby is born. My role is to help ease your transition into parenthood by offering practical assistance, newborn care guidance, and a supportive presence as you recover and adjust. Research shows that postpartum doula support can reduce the risk of postpartum depression, improve infant feeding outcomes, and enhance overall family well-being during this critical period.
Daytime postpartum support is offered on a sliding scale of $55–$65 per hour, with a minimum of 30 total hours. (Minimum investment: $1650-$1950.) Longer-term support can be reserved with a commitment to a set number of hours per week for an agreed duration.
Overnight postpartum support is offered on a sliding scale of $70–$75 per hour, with a minimum of 8 hours per visit.
Postpartum support is tailored to your needs and may include:
- Hands-on assistance with self-care recovery measures for healing after birth
- Newborn care support (diapering, soothing, bathing) to give parents time to rest and recharge
- Support for all feeding choices, including breastfeeding / chestfeeding and bottle feeding
- Help with light household tasks, such as laundry, dishes, and tidying
- Preparation of simple, nourishing meals and snacks
- Emotional support and a listening ear
- Referrals to trusted professionals and local resources as needed
I will create a personalized package of visits, with the option to extend if I'm available. Email me to learn more.
