Postpartum Support
Provides families with non-medical, emotional, physical, and informational support during the first 6-12 weeks postpartum.
Postpartum support provides new and growing families with trusted care in the comfort of your home. No matter what your birth experience looked like, the hands-on support of a postpartum doula helps smooth the transition from birth to everyday. When you welcome me into your home, you can expect everything from an ear to listen, a helping hand in the kitchen, feeding support, nap/sleep time relief, recovery support, and so much more. All postpartum journeys are as unique as the births that preceeded them, so my postpartum services meet you and your family where you are - literally, spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically.

Postpartum support is offered by the hour to allow families to purchase as much or as little support is needed. I have a 12 hour minimum to ensure the investment is worth it for all parties involved, and my rate depends on whether I am providing day or night services. If affordability is a barrier for you and your family, please reach out so that we can have a conversation.
