Daytime Postpartum Care

Build your confidence and broaden your parenting skills

I provide care that is tailored to each individual family. My role as your doula extends beyond education empowerment and into this precious time as you ease into parenthood. Parents of newborns thrive on nurturing, protected rest, and healing nourishment. I love helping families obtain these needs at a time when they should be shielded from as many outside demands as possible.

As your postpartum doula, I will provide emotional support, infant care and education, maternal postpartum recovery and breastfeeding support, light household support (dishes, laundry, etc.), meal preparation, errands, community resources, and referrals, specialized support for postpartum mood disorders, and practical experience with multiples and preemies. I will help you feel less overwhelmed so that you can become confident in trusting your parental instincts.

Daytime doulas provide support 2-5 days a week. The duration of support is often 4-16 weeks. Your doula will help your family adjust to having your newborn in the home. A specialist in newborn care, a daytime doula takes care of the whole family without interference and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge.

The focus of care your doula provides daily is based on the priorities needed for your family.
