What to expect

As a certified ProDoula, I provide comprehensive, family-centered postpartum support to help families transition smoothly into life with their newborn. My services include hands-on newborn care, including feeding, meeting baby’s basic needs, and soothing, while supporting parents in building confidence and competence in caring for their baby. I offer feeding support, guiding mothers through common challenges and helping to establish healthy, sustainable routines. I also assist with light household organization and meal preparation to promote a calm, functional, and supportive home environment. Care is thoughtfully centered on the mother’s health and well-being, with attention to postpartum recovery and support around potential anxiety or emotional overwhelm. I provide a safe, reassuring space for parents to process the adjustments of postpartum life with empathy and understanding. In alignment with the ProDoula model, I offer attentive, non-medical support as an additional set of eyes and ears in the home. This includes observing feeding patterns, monitoring for any signs of infant distress, and providing sensory nurturing care while modeling evidence-based best practices. Evening and overnight support are available to help families obtain the rest they need. My goal is to foster a peaceful, nurturing environment where families feel supported, confident, and able to focus on bonding and building a strong connection with their baby.

I'm so grateful to Dionne for the incredible support she provided. She is kind, empathetic and has a natural nurturing presence. Her calmness and gentle demeanor immediately made me feel comfortable and made it easy to trust her with my baby's care. She consistently went above and beyond, staying late to help me get through a tough morning, checking in between visits just to see how we were doing and anticipating needs I didn't even know to ask for. She is an exceptional person.

Dionne greeted me on my first night at home with my newborn, and I knew immediately that we were both in good hands due to her warm, calming, and joyful presence. We were only able to work together a handful of nights, but I would definitely work with Dionne again!
