What does a postpartum doula do?

Postpartum needs vary from family to family. Depending on your needs (which can change day-to-day!), I offer the following:

• Prenatal postpartum planning (if applicable)

• “Parent the parent” so you can rest, heal, and focus on you and baby

• Provide baby care so you can sleep, shower/bathe, eat, etc.

• Snack preparation for lactation and a nourishing postpartum

• Light cleaning, such as kitchen cleaning/dishes and picking up around the house

• Baby laundry

• Prepare sitz baths and provide healing support

• Basic lactation and feeding support

• Birth story validation and non-judgmental emotional support

• Return to work preparation and guidance

• Phone, text, and email support

• Resources and references to postpartum/infant/parenting support professionals

  
  

How much does it cost?

My postpartum doula services are $30 per hour, and I require a 16-hour minimum. Postpartum shifts range from two to six hours, and you are always welcome to book more hours with me.
