Postpartum Doula

The postpartum period is extremely precious, vulnerable, exciting, and raw. Your body is healing, you are adjusting to life with a newborn, you are sleep deprived, your hormones are fluctuating. It is a time of transition and integration, and it may feel overwhelming without support set in place.

As your postpartum doula, I will be your guardian, your caretaker, your ally. I will be a soothing, encouraging and familial presence alongside you as you integrate your birth experience and adapt to life with your little one. My role is to support you as you bond with your baby and find your new rhythm.

This looks like being an extra pair of helpful hands, offering you a massage, setting up a steam or herbal healing pads for your pelvic floor recovery, suggesting exercises to strengthen your body, processing your birth experience together, providing lactation guidance and infant education as needed, affirming your intuition and instincts, offering postpartum rituals that are culturally relevant and appropriate, connecting you to local resources as needed and desired, and cook nourishing, nutritional meals and snacks, helping create healthy boundaries in your life, and more.

I invite you to receive the deep familial care you deserve.

My services are available during the day and at night.

We can co-create a personalized schedule & set of tasks that is unique to your needs and is sustainable for us both.
