What is a
postpartum doula?

 Postpartum doulas are  concerned with the welfare of the whole family. We are there to help share knowledge of infant-care including breast/bottle-feeding, bathing, and sleeping habits. We care for new parents and siblings, create a safe space for families to bond, help moms heal and provide evidence-based information regarding infant care. Meal prep for the family, doing laundry, errands and sibling care are all an important part of the job as well. 

Why hire a
postpartum doula?

 Studies show that when parents are supported and cared for in the early days of a newborn's life, they are better prepared to meet the challenges of baby's first days and early childhood. A doula is a non-medical support person who offers evidence-based referrals when you need them. We are there to help you and your partner transition into parenthood and aid recovery for the birthing mother.

How does it work?


Postpartum doulas usually start work the first week of baby's arrival and continue for up to a month. Each week will look a little bit different. An average parent will ask for at around 6 hours a day for several days a week. My  goal is to reduce  work hours and leave each family ready for early parenthood. 
Some parents may prefer just daytime help, sibling care, nighttime help, a combination of the two or just a few visits.
