Postpartum Doula Support
Congratulations! You are getting to know and nurture a new little human (or humans), and getting to know and tend to yourself as a parent. This time may be exciting, transformative, difficult, and joyous. As a postpartum doula, I am here to support you as you navigate the first 12 weeks following birth. Postpartum doula services include the following, at a rate of $35/hour.
Prenatal Meeting
If booking postpartum services apart from birth services, we will begin with a prenatal meeting in your home, during which we will discuss your postpartum plan, support networks, and desires for care during this time.
Postpartum Visits
Each postpartum visit will last 3-4 hours, depending on our agreement. Typically, visits are either weekly or twice per week during the first 4 to 12 weeks following birth, and the duration of support is tailored to your individual preferences. During each visit, my services may include:
-
Breast/chest/body-feeding support / infant feeding support
-
Help with baby care
-
Emotional and informational support
-
Openness to discussing postpartum depression or feelings of baby blues and referrals to mental health support professionals if desired
-
Light cleaning (doing dishes, tidying, laundry)
-
Running errands, such as grocery shopping
-
Cooking for you / meal prep
-
Guided meditation
-
Referrals to community resources and lactation professionals
Text, Call and Email Support
Throughout the duration of our working relationship, I will be available to you via text, call, and e-mail for informational support.
*Everyone deserves support during the postpartum period. Please contact me to discuss payment plan options and alternative resources.
