My dedicated, unwavering physical and emotional support and guidance throughout your active labor and birth. I'll create a calm and soothing labor environment, assist with movement and positioning, mindful relaxation, breathing techniques, and offer encouragement and comfort measures. I’ll be there for your partner as well, ensuring that their needs are met, and helping them to assist and support you (at their level of comfort) as you move through labor and give birth to your baby. Once baby arrives I’ll assist with first breastfeeding and stay until you are ready for private time
One postpartum visit - I’ll visit you at home once you are settled in. This will give us the opportunity to process your birth, address concerns and questions, make sure breastfeeding is going well, and share the joy of your new arrival!

My POSTPARTUM Services
Designed to help you thrive
in the tender first weeks
of new parenthood
Complimentary consultation- We’ll arrange a time to chat so we can get to know each other a bit and talk about a postpartum plan that meets your individual needs
Emotional and Physical Support-The adjustment to parenthood can often be challenging. You and your baby are new to this experience, and there's a lot to do and learn...all while recovering from birth giving. It's easy to become overwhelmed! I'll share my postpartum resources and insights with you, listen without judgement, be an encouraging voice, and offer guidance on self care and relaxation that can help with your healing process and emotional well being
Overnight Home Visits- I'll arrive at your home, check in with you about your day and offer my help with any challenges that may need addressing, then help your family to settle in for the night
Infant Care- I'll take care of all of babies needs during the night so that you and your partner can get the sleep you need to fully recharge, and have energy for the day ahead. If you're exclusively breastfeeding, I will bring baby to you to nurse and then return to diaper and settle baby back to sleep. If you choose to pump or use formula, I will bottle feed baby and you can sleep
uninterrupted through the night.
I'll comfort, rock, sing, whatever it takes to ensure baby gets proper rest as well.
Breastfeeding Support- It's common for new moms to have breastfeeding challenges in the first days or even weeks following birth. I'll work with you to help resolve any issues you may be experiencing, or refer you to a trusted resource for further assistance if needed
Sleep Support- Crafting a plan that will support restorative sleep is particularly important for new parents. Sleep deprivation and exhaustion can lead to stress, difficulty coping, impatience, lack of focus and even postpartum depression. I'll provide resources and help you create a bedtime routine for restful nights, while I provide loving care for your baby
Preparation for Family Morning Hours- While you and baby are sleeping soundly I can set up morning tea or coffee, fold baby laundry...simple things to help you start your day with ease!

DAYTIME Postpartum Services
Being a new parent is a big adjustment, and requires a lot of energy! Having the support of a trusted doula who can spend a few hours a day caring for your baby while you rest and recover, work, or take some time for yourself can help your family transition smoothly. Having time to get some exercise,
do your errands, meet with friends, or just catch up on sleep and self care can be a welcome respite to long days at home with an infant! I'll come to your home, attend to all of babies needs, and help with tasks such as baby laundry, tidying up, preparing you a healthy snack, and taking baby (and your dog if you have one) on a walk.
4 hour- 6 hour visits available
Fee for Daytime Postpartum Support
