Postpartum Doula
A postpartum doula is like your calm, capable best friend who shows up right when you need her most. I’m here to make those early weeks feel less overwhelming and a lot more supported. Whether that means holding the baby so you can shower, making sure you eat something warm, or answering all the “is this normal?” questions at 2 a.m. I also support your partner, helping them adjust, feel confident, and find their groove as a new parent too.
I’m not just here for the newborn; I’m here for you and your partner. Your recovery, your rest, and your confidence matter just as much. Think of me as your built-in safety net for the beautiful, messy, life-changing season that is life with a new baby.

What support could look like…
Overnight Postpartum

• Feeding support (bringing baby to you if breastfeeding, or bottle-feeding so you can sleep)
