A doula is a modern term for a person who serves the mother and her family,
and I feel as if I have been doing this work for lifetimes. As a doula, I become someone you trust, someone who understands you as you make the transition into your next stage of being – the stage of motherhood.
A postpartum doula is focused on mother/baby care—whatever that means for you. If you desperately need some rest, a postpartum doula comes over to your home and watches the baby so you can sleep and fully restore after birth. Sometimes you need an extra hand around the house, so your doula will wash and fold your laundry, do the dishes and cook a nourishing meal. Other times, older children will need some extra attention once their new sibling arrives, so your postpartum doula will mind one child or children while you take care of the other and have some bonding time. Sometimes, a doula shift can include all of the above!
In my work as a doula, I have shared information on newborn sleep, taught mothers how to baby wear, reviewed what herbs are safe for breastfeeding and eased worries about what’s “normal” in this sacred window of time. I’ve also gone grocery shopping, vacuumed the house before in-laws visit, and picked up older children from school. My role is to tend to all of your needs as your family transitions and transforms. My purpose is supporting women and children, while guiding women to trust their intuitive nature of mothering.

Virtual Sessions
In addition to in-person day time care, I also offer virtual postpartum support
via Zoom.
When you hire me as your virtual postpartum doula, I am available 24/7 to answer any questions about infant care & postpartum healing, go over safe sleep & feeding practices, teach you how to swaddle & baby wear, provide postpartum meal plans, and offer evidence based information on maternal health & infant development.
I am also there to help you process your birth story, encourage you and
provide simple shifts to make your transition into parenthood easier.
Many folks choose virtual support since it is more affordable than day time care and keeps everyone safe during this time of COVID-19 and social distancing.
