Postpartum Support
Hourly Rate $60
Discounts available for
200+ hours
Postpartum support is entirely personal. This is why I don't offer packages, rather offer the option to purchase a total number of hours to be used in a way that supports your family best.
Night shifts are 8 or 10 hours long. I also offer a limited number of 12s and 24s. My maximum is 5 nights per week, however I can partner with another trusted doula if 7 day a week support is requested.
Night shifts focus on recuperative sleep, as well as establishing nights from days. The care I provide at night is awake care, meaning I am awake for the entirety of my shift. While this isn't what most postpartum doulas or newborn care specialists provide, this is the ultimate when it comes to peace of mind.
All additional services I offer, registry, babywearing and feeding support, as well as a car seat installation are included in my hourly rate. I am also available via text during business hours.
Also Included:
One hour virtual session is included to discuss registry planning, and how to choose gear such as car seats, strollers, bassinets and other large and small ticket items that may take lifestyle into consideration.
One hour virtual session to go over preferences and expectations, and create a personalized plan for postpartum.
One two hour in person session one month prior to birth to walk through and get to know your home & setup, as well as any pets you have, to ensure you're ready to welcome baby! We will also install your car seat and make sure you're comfortable using it.

Beyond education & information, as a postpartum doula my role is to listen, support, & make sure your needs emotionally, physically, spiritually are met.
I take a whole family, holistic, individualized approach to the care I provide.
Letters of recommendation + background check available.
TEXT SUPPORT
I offer text support as an ala cart service.
Support, even virtually, is invaluable. Questions about baby care, feeding, sleep and more come up and having a trusted person to contact can offer you the reassurance you need.
Please contact me if this service interests you and we can discuss details.
