postpartum doula support

MONTHLY PACKAGES

When possible, we will meet prenatally to develop an individualized postpartum plan covering pillars of postpartum support including rest, healing, physical and emotional nourishment and community support. Monthly packages include one meeting per week and unlimited text and email.

  • From Kate Evans, cited by Sophie Massager in the book Why Postnatal Recover Matters.

    ”Have you ever done a 24-hour-a-day job before? Where you have to wake up every two hours? Without a break? Or any days off. And did you start this job immediately after undergoing a painful, major medical procedure? Where you might have lost a lot of blood, and/or been injected with prescription drugs? AND did this job involve a major, irreversible change in your role in life, with serious emotional ramifications?”

    The birth of a new human also brings on the birth of a new you. Not only are we navigating newborn care alongside our own postpartum healing, we’re also on a transformational journey that includes new identities, new family dynamics, the need for new boundaries and so much more.

  • Monthly subscriptions include one in-person visit per week and unlimited text and email support with a guaranteed 24-hour response time.

    Services vary based on daily needs but may include:

    • Belly Binding
    • Steaming
    • Sitz Bath
    • Foot Soak
    • Percussion Massage
    • Breathwork
    • Hands-on Education covering nursing basics, baby-wearing, newborn care and more

  • Needs differ greatly between immediate postpartum, the fourth trimester and extended postpartum but postpartum is forever. So whether you are two weeks, two months or two years postpartum, the work of learning to care for ourselves in order to take care of others does not end, and it’s never too late to start our work together.

  • Contact me for a complimentary consultation to further discuss cost and services.

A LA CARTE SESSIONS

As with childbirth, the journey through postpartum is transformative and full of peaks and valleys. It’s often difficult to anticipate exactly what help will be needed in immediate postpartum, the fourth trimester or extended postpartum. This option allows you to purchase hourly blocks to be used on an as-needed basis.

  • Birth is about so much more than the wriggling of a tiny body out of a larger one. When we birth we don't just birth babies. We birth ourselves, we birth our families and we reshape our lives.
