A postpartum doula is trained to assist families during the newborn phase, otherwise known as the "fourth trimester".  My role is to basically serve as a super helpful, non-judgmental sister who will NEVER provide un-solicited advice (but has a ton of knowledge and information IF asked).  A postpartum doula is there to help you adjust to life with a newborn. And since everyone's needs are different, the role I play is up to you! Whether you need help doing the dishes, need assistance with nursing or bottle feeding, need someone to tackle the mountain of baby laundry, or need someone to care for the baby while you shower, I'm your gal.

Here is a complete list of the services I can provide for you and your family, depending on your needs:

• Postpartum recovery assistance

• Newborn care (swaddling, bathing, comforting)

• Feeding support and assistance

• Judgement free and unbiased support to increase your confidence with parenting decisions

• Meal preparation

• Recognizing symptoms of postpartum mood disorders

• Light housekeeping and organization (sanitizing bottles and pump parts, and baby laundry included)

• Sibling care

• Referrals and references as needed

​

I am also available for late evening shifts. I understand the value of a good night's sleep during the early stages of parenthood, and I am here to protect your sleep!

My services for night shifts (9 PM to 5 AM) include:

• Getting up when the baby does to implement chosen feeding method (bottle feeding formula or pumped milk, or bringing the baby to you to nurse).

• Keeping you company during nighttime breastfeeding or pump sessions, or bringing everything to you so that you can get back to sleep as quickly as possible.
