Frequently Asked Questions

A postpartum doula provides personalized support for new parents during the first few months after birth. This includes newborn care assistance, emotional support, light household help, meal preparation, breastfeeding guidance, and creating space for parents to rest and recover.

While a night nurse or nanny primarily focuses on baby care, a postpartum doula's approach is holistic—supporting the entire family unit. Doulas provide education and emotional support alongside practical help, with the goal of building parents' confidence rather than simply taking over tasks.

My support is tailored to each family's unique needs, including:

Newborn care education and demonstrations
Emotional support and birth experience processing
Breastfeeding/feeding guidance
Light household assistance
Overnight support for better rest
Resource connections and referrals
Sibling adjustment support

I offer several support packages designed to nurture your family through the postpartum period:

6-Week Support Package
A foundation of care during those critical early weeks when you're establishing new routines and building confidence.

12-Week Journey Package
Extended support through the entire fourth trimester, allowing us to adapt our care as your needs evolve.

Custom Care Package
Every family's journey is unique. We can create a personalized support plan that addresses your specific needs.

Investment in postpartum support is an investment in your family's wellbeing during this transformative time. I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation where we can discuss your family's unique needs and the associated investment for your personalized support plan.

I understand that welcoming a new baby brings many expenses. I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots each month and am happy to discuss payment plans.

I'll begin by checking in about how you're feeling and what would be most supportive that day. Depending on your needs, I might provide newborn care while you rest, prepare a nourishing meal, offer breastfeeding support, or demonstrate baby-wearing techniques. Throughout our time together, I'll answer questions and share evidence-based information that aligns with your parenting philosophy.
