Guides
As a postpartum doula, I am dedicated to supporting families through the critical transition that follows birth. I view the postpartum period as a time that deserves intentional care, where both parent and child benefit from consistent guidance, reassurance, and practical assistance. My role is to provide evidence based support in areas such as infant feeding, soothing strategies, rest, and family adjustment, while also ensuring that parents feel heard, respected, and empowered in their choices. With a background in early childhood education, I bring a solid understanding of child development alongside a deep commitment to family well-being. My philosophy is rooted in holistic care; recognizing the physical, emotional, and relational needs of each family member. I believe that when parents are supported with compassion and knowledge, they are better able to thrive, bond with their baby, and step into their role with confidence. It is an honor to walk alongside families during this meaningful and transformative season.
Standard service: $50/hour Includes newborn care support, feeding guidance, soothing strategies, and basic household assistance within a 10-mile radius. Extended Visit / Distance Adjustment – $55–$60/hour For visits beyond 10 miles or longer sessions, pricing adjusts based on travel time and distance. Add-On Services – $5–$10 each Optional support such as sibling care, light meal preparation, laundry, or specialized postpartum guidance. All services are tailored to your family’s needs, ensuring practical support, guidance, and reassurance during the postpartum period.
I provide postpartum doula support tailored to each family’s needs, including newborn care, feeding guidance, soothing techniques, light household help, sibling support, and resources for postpartum recovery. My goal is to ensure parents feel rested, confident, and fully supported as they adjust to life with their new baby.
