Postpartum Doula

 Yay! You have a new baby! Congratulations

I am here to mother the mother, so she can mother her baby.

Postpartum is a beautiful time and is so much more enjoyable with support during this transition (for every member of the family!)

Free consultation:

• Get to know each other

• Tell me your vision of your postpartum experience and my role as your doula

• Share any needs or concerns you have

• Go over my services and letter of agreement

Home visit:

• Go over expectations (ex. when to contact me, dates and hours)

• Create your postpartum plan

• Show me around your home (there is no judgment for cleanliness or organization)

• Introduce me to other members of your family

• Receive my list of local resources and referrals

*Text, call, and email support from the time the Letter of Agreement is signed until our closure visit

Dayshift:

• I will check in to see how you, Baby, and other family members are doing physically and emotionally

• Process your birth with you

• Share infant-soothing techniques

• Provide newborn hygiene information

• Provide education on typical newborn behavior and development

• Help you build confidence in your intuition and capabilities as a mother

• Give breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding support

• Supervise Baby (and siblings) so you can shower, nap, or have “me” time

• Perform light house cleaning and food preparation so you can focus on recovering and bonding with your baby

• Any needed support for partner and older siblings

Nightshift:

• If breastfeeding, I will bring the baby to your bed to nurse. When Baby is done, I can burp and change the baby so you can get right back to sleep

• You can be asleep during my entire shift. I will log all infant care throughout my stay.

Closure visit:

• We celebrate our time together and wish each other well. You can extend your contract or rehire me months down the road
