Change always comes bearing gifts.  ~ Price Pritchett

whole family care

Professional postpartum home care is thoughtfully designed to help families smoothly transition into life with their new baby. As a postpartum doula, I offer support and comfort for the entire family during this pivotal time when everything can seem overwhelming. The journey of parenting a newborn is a constant evolution, and doula care is tailored to provide parent education, non-judgmental support, companionship, and guidance during the postpartum period, empowering you to embrace your intuitive ability to nurture your baby.

what to expect

As a new parent, you can expect support in various areas, including techniques for post-birth recovery and self-comfort, assistance with breastfeeding and bottle feeding, guidance on infant bathing and diapering, help with chores such as laundry and dishes, meal preparation, light housekeeping, sibling care, family support, and household management. I also provide specialized care for premature infants, multiples, and compassionate support for those experiencing postpartum mood disorders. 

Postpartum care should be accessible to every new family. Reduced rates may be available for clients facing financial difficulties; feel free to inquire about this option.
