Congratulations and I am happy you are looking for postpartum support!

Postpartum is the time after the arrival of new baby(ies). Many parents, both new and experienced, feel this time is precious and marvel at their new family, but of course baby(ies) come with demands that can be very overwhelming.  Add on to that the huge fluctuations in hormones, body changes and lack of sleep, and parents can quickly become at risk for serious depletion. 

The role of a postpartum doula is to educate families in ways that will help them navigate with the goal of nourishment. We can work together in the following ways: creating a postpartum care plan, implementing practices for care of self, baby and family as a whole, creating organizational systems in your household to support nourishment.

Some of the duties that I perform as a Postpartum doula include:

  • Help with the emotional and physical recovery after birth

  • Light housekeeping

  • Running errands

  • Breastfeeding Support

  • Bottle feeding and pumping support

  • Help with the emotional and physical recovery after birth

  • Night time service to help the family transition more smoothly into the challenges of night time parenting

  • Assistance with newborn care such as diapering, bathing, feeding and comforting

  • Baby soothing techniques

  • Assisting with light household organization so that mom does not feel so overwhelmed

  • Light meal preparation

  • Sibling care

  • Referrals to local resources such as parenting classes, pediatricians, lactation support and support groups


Most postpartum doulas provide service for a family anywhere from a few days up to a 12 weeks after bringing home a new baby.

My daytime care rate is $30 per hour (6 hours minimum)

I am on my way to get my Postpartum certification with DONA International. Yay!
