Postpartum support

---

A postpartum doula is more than a house keeper, mother's helper, newborn care specialist, or chef. When you are feeling overwhelmed with this new role as a parent in addition to your previous connections as partner, friend, co-worker, I am there to keep your family grounded. I provide perspective tailored to your priorities and goals. 

Think of me as a combo Internet search engine to answer questions, provide recommendations to area resources, as well as in person presence making space for you to rest, connect with your baby, and be reassured that this transition will be temporary and to treasure this time. 

Do you have goals to breastfeed?

Exclusively pumping to return to work? 

Sleep advice or scheduling needs? 

Worries about what is in the range of normal or cause for concern? 

Do you want to guarantee a couple hours for YOURSELF to sleep or connect with your partner?

Postpartum doulas can begin before the baby is born! By planning how you want your "forth trimester" to look, I can better support your family. 

We can meet to discuss who else will be in the home, visiting relatives, or siblings. 

When you pay the retainer I reserve your requested hours, but can be flexible for when we start and how those hours are utilized.
