About me

You weren’t meant to do this alone. There comes a moment after the visitors leave, the meals stop coming, and the texts become less frequent. It’s 2:43 a.m. Your baby has been awake for hours. You’re running on almost no sleep. You haven’t eaten a real meal today. You’re wondering if you’re doing any of this right. No one prepares you for that part. I’m Afrika, a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with over 17 years of experience supporting more than 100 families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender weeks that follow. I don’t just care for babies. I care for the people who just became parents. Whether you need overnight newborn care so you can finally sleep, daytime support while you recover, help establishing feeding routines, emotional encouragement, or simply another capable adult in your home, I meet you exactly where you are. When I’m in your home, my goal is simple: I want you to exhale. To eat while your food is still warm. To shower without rushing. To sleep knowing your baby is in experienced hands. To feel cared for while you’re caring for everyone else. Because healing happens best when someone is helping hold the weight. This isn’t luxury. This is how families were always meant to be supported. If you’re preparing for your first baby, or welcoming another, I’d be honored to become part of your village.
