Postpartum Doula Support
Postpartum Services
Adjusting to life with a newborn baby is a big transition. Having adequate postpartum support can help a new family immensely and positively influences emotional health and well-being. A postpartum doula can support you during the initial weeks postpartum, help you if you have a partner returning to work, and be an extra set of hands for that 6-week growth spurt. Whether you are first time parents, or you have busy toddlers or children on the go, a postpartum doula can help!

Daytime Postpartum Packages
Each postpartum care package includes a 1-hour postpartum “prep” appointment. The appointment occurs prenatally and is an opportunity to meet before your baby arrives and plan your postpartum care.
I’ll share need-to-know information about how to support your post-birth recovery and what to expect in the first few weeks with your newborn.
Please note: We often book several months in advance of due dates to reserve your doula care for both daytime and nighttime support. But please don’t hesitate to reach out for “last-minute” requests. We will do our very best to help you if we can!
