It's so nice to meet you! If you're interested in learning more, please feel free to reach out to me via my website or social media, listed below in the "Social media" section. -- Hi, I'm Emily—the heart and hands behind Mothered Majesty. I've always been fascinated by pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, and I've spent years caring for infants, children, and adults in both personal and professional settings. Alongside my formal postpartum doula training, these experiences shape the compassionate, practical care I bring to families today. I believe postpartum care should care for the mother, not just the baby. My approach brings the practical alongside the poetic—supporting rest and recovery, newborn care, feeding, nourishment, light household tasks, emotional support, and the everyday adjustments of becoming a parent. I don't claim to have all the answers, but you will never be alone in finding them.
An investment of 3 daytime postpartum sessions, 4 hours per session. Formative Car starts with a 3 session minimum up to 9 sessions total.
An individual, 4-hour daytime support session.
Overnight Relief provides an additional set of hands through the night so you can get meaningful rest while your baby is cared for. Support may include feeding, diapering, soothing, settling, bottle or pump-part sanitation, and small household resets. Overnight Relief is rest-permitted care, not continuous awake childcare. When your baby is safely settled and sleeping, I may rest as well.
Every postpartum experience is different. A postpartum doula provides non-medical, practical, emotional, and informational support as you recover, learn your baby, and find your footing in this new or new-again chapter of parenthood. My role isn't simply to care for your baby. It's to care for you while you're caring for your baby. Your baby is an important part of postpartum care—but you are, too. Mothered Majesty is designed around two phases of care, allowing your support to meet you where you are and change as your family does. -- ✦ Formative Care A foundation for the beginning. Formative Care is designed for those earliest weeks, when your body is recovering, your baby is learning, and your family is finding its rhythm. Formative Care includes a *minimum of three daytime support sessions, with the option to reserve up to nine sessions.* You choose the number of sessions you'd like to reserve when booking, while the timing and rhythm of your visits are determined after your baby arrives based on your needs and my availability. You don't have to know exactly what every visit will look like ahead of time. Your care can adapt as you move through those first weeks. __ ✧ Evolving Care Let your support evolve as you do. As those earliest weeks unfold, your needs may change. You may feel more confident, your baby may enter a new stage, or you may simply discover that continued support makes a meaningful difference. Evolving Care allows you to continue with individual daytime postpartum visits or Overnight Relief based on your family's needs and my current availability. There is no predetermined timeline for when support should end. Your care can evolve because you are evolving. -- What Can Postpartum Support Look Like? Daytime support is shaped around what would make the biggest difference for you that day. Your baby may be cared for while you shower, nap, eat, or simply have a quiet moment. We might talk through feeding questions while I reset the kitchen, prepare something nourishing, fold laundry, help with baby's bath, or simply sit together while you process everything you're experiencing. ♡ Emotional & Informational Support: Compassionate, judgment-free support as you process birth, identity shifts, and early parenthood, with evidence-based guidance on normal postpartum and newborn experiences. ♡ Recovery Support: Gentle support for rest, nourishment, hydration, comfort, and pacing your recovery—including creating space for showers, naps, and quiet moments. ♡ Infant Care Support: Hands-on assistance with soothing, diapering, bathing, and understanding your baby's cues. I may care for your baby while you shower, rest, eat, or tend to yourself—but newborn care is provided in support of you, not as dedicated childcare. ♡ Light Household Support: Dishes, laundry, bottle sanitizing, light tidying, supply restocks, and small household tasks that help make postpartum life more manageable. ♡ Simple Meal & Nourishment Support: Preparing or warming simple meals, snacks, and drinks to support regular nourishment and recovery. ♡ Non-Clinical Feeding Support: Non-medical support with breast/chest or bottle feeding, including positioning, basic latch support, burping, paced bottle feeding, and pumping support, tailored to your family's goals. ♡ Family & Community Support: Support as your whole family adjusts—including siblings, loved ones, and connections to trusted professionals and community resources.
I would use Emily over and over again for postpartum doula care. I know there is a lot of hype around birth doulas- don’t get me wrong, that is also a valuable service! But working with Emily postpartum really made everything so much smoother! I truly felt mothered during her time in our home, and will be using her once we welcome our next baby!
