Services
I provide a thoughtful variety of services as a Postpartum Doula that are designed to ensure you feel wholeheartedly supported and truly empowered during the often overwhelming postpartum period. Here’s how I can support you and your family:
Newborn Care
From diapering to establishing a smooth feeding and sleep routine, I am here to assist you with hands-on support in caring for your precious newborn. This involves providing support to new parents during the crucial early days after childbirth and thereafter. The goal is to empower parents by alleviating some of the stress associated with caring for a newborn, allowing them to focus on bonding with their baby.
Overnight Care
Helping new families at night after birth. Overnight support lets parents rest while their baby is cared for, especially in the first few weeks when sleep is hard to come by. This ensures parents have the energy to care for their baby and themselves and to bond during the day. I offer 8 to 12 hours of support a night.
Chestfeeding Support
I provide helpful guidance with breastfeeding techniques, comfortable positioning, and problem-solving strategies to help make feeding your baby a smoother and more enjoyable experience.
Bottle Feeding
Whatever you choose as parents for feeding your baby, I am here to provide judgment-free support. Whether you opt for expressed milk or formula, my goal is to empower you in your decisions. When it comes to bottle feeding, I utilize the paced feeding method. This approach allows your baby to take the lead, determining the rhythm and flow of the feeding. You can feel confident in your choices, knowing that I am by your side to assist and encourage you every step of the way.
Infomation and Education
I am dedicated to empowering new parents with dependable, research-backed guidance on infant care, postpartum recovery, and feeding options. My goal is to support you in making informed decisions, fostering your confidence during this transformative time.

I attentively listen to your concerns, offering reassurance and encouragement throughout your journey. My role includes providing practical postpartum recovery support for the birthing parent, ensuring you feel nurtured and empowered during this transitional time. Together, we will create a calming environment where you can express your feelings and receive the guidance you need to thrive..

Supporting older siblings in adjusting to a new baby is crucial for family harmony.

Address jealousy with empathy and reinforce that love and attention will remain constant. Cultivating understanding and support helps families embrace this transition, strengthening their bonds during this exciting time.
