About Soft

Your Soft Landing Into Postpartum ♡ The journey doesn’t end at birth. Neither should your care. Bringing a baby into the world is one of the most profound transformations you’ll ever experience. Your body, your identity, your relationships, and your entire world shift to make room for new life. It’s beautiful, tender, exhausting, and sometimes overwhelming. And you deserve to feel deeply supported through all of it. At Soft Landing Postpartum, we believe the fourth trimester deserves just as much intention, preparation, and care as pregnancy and birth. Soft Landing Postpartum is a postpartum doula agency serving Greater Sacramento and Sonoma County. Founded by a Licensed Midwife, our practice grew from a deep understanding of the physiological and emotional transformation that unfolds after birth, and a desire to fill the gap in care so many families experience during this vulnerable season. Our team of experienced postpartum doulas and newborn care specialists offers thoughtful, individualized care that blends evidence-based knowledge with the wisdom of traditional postpartum practices. How we care for you: * Overnight newborn care: Rest easy knowing your baby is in experienced, loving hands while you get the restorative sleep you need. * Daytime postpartum support: Nourishing meals, light household care, newborn education, emotional support, and space for you to rest and recover. * Lactation and feeding support: Compassionate, judgment-free guidance from experienced providers and IBCLCs. * Postpartum bodywork and recovery: Belly binding, gentle movement, breathwork, and somatic support to help you reconnect with your body. * Infant sleep support: Gentle, developmentally appropriate guidance as your family finds its rhythm. Whether you’re welcoming your first baby, growing your family, recovering from a cesarean, navigating a NICU transition, or simply longing for a little more rest, we meet you exactly where you are. We serve families throughout Greater Sacramento and Sonoma County, offering care that feels less like a service and more like the village you were always meant to have. Our hope is simple: that you feel rested, nourished, confident, and held as you settle into this new chapter. Because you deserve more than just getting through postpartum. You deserve to be cared for, too. We would be honored to be part of your village. Let’s create your soft landing. ♡ Schedule a complimentary discovery call to explore what support could look like for your family. www.softlandingpostpartum.com

Honestly, 10/10 doesn't even cut it for Soft Landing Postpartum and our amazing doulas, Emma and Cindy. Bringing home a newborn is a lot, but they made the whole transition feel so smooth and manageable. They both have this incredible depth of knowledge and exceptional professionalism, but they deliver it with so much genuine warmth. Whether we had questions about sleep, feeding, or just general newborn stuff, they always had the best advice. Most importantly, the way they loved and cared for our little girl was just beautiful. They felt like a natural extension of our family almost instantly, and we honestly can’t picture our daughter’s life without them in it. We were lucky enough to use them through our Carrot benefits, and the whole process was incredibly easy. If you’re a medical resident with Carrot benefits, do yourself a favor and book them right away. Surviving residency while trying to navigate life with a newborn is no joke, and having Emma and Cindy there to support us meant we actually got to sleep, recover, and feel human. It made a world of difference in helping us show up for our shifts and be present for our baby. We seriously can't recommend them enough!

I have had an absolute amazing ongoing experience with Emma. We are first time parents to twins and I had a very unexpected sudden requirement for an early cesarean. Emma was so kind and helpful when we were able to bring our first son home from the NICU by helping us at night while I was recovering. She has been so supportive, and focused not only on my son's health and wellbeing, but my own as well. I am delighted that she has been continuing daytime doula services, and it has been genuinely a huge comfort and relief having her be an integral part of our journey.

Doula Robyn provided care for our newborn twin daughters beginning at birth, and we continued to utilize her services for many months to come. In the process, it is no overstatement to say she has become a part of our extended family. Her deep experience with newborn care allowed my husband and I to rest with such peace of mind while our babies were in her care. Both babies would light up at the sound of her voice by several months of age. She is a calm, deeply capable practitioner. If you are considering seeking postpartum doula care, I would strongly recommend this group and Robyn in particular!

Frequently asked questions

What is a postpartum doula, and how can they support our family?

Think of us as your built-in village. A postpartum doula provides emotional, physical, and practical support as you adjust to life with your new baby. Whether that means caring for your newborn while you sleep, preparing a nourishing meal, helping with feeding, or simply offering reassurance during an overwhelming moment, we’re here to make your transition into parenthood feel a little softer.

What does an overnight shift look like?**

Our overnight care typically runs from 10 PM to 6 AM.Your doula takes over newborn care throughout the night, including diaper changes, soothing, feeding support, and settling your baby back to sleep. If you’re breastfeeding, we’ll bring your baby to you for feeds and handle the rest so you can return to sleep as quickly as possible. Our goal is simple: more restorative rest for you and loving, attentive care for your baby.

How is Soft Landing different from a night nanny or traditional newborn care service?

We believe caring for the baby and caring for the person who gave birth are inseparable. Our team brings experience in midwifery, postpartum recovery, lactation, newborn development, and nervous system support. We look beyond the immediate needs of your baby to consider your physical recovery, emotional well-being, and the unique rhythm of your family.

When should we book postpartum support?

We recommend reaching out during your second or third trimester to ensure availability around your due date. We understand that babies arrive on their own timelines, so we plan with flexibility in mind. Already had your baby? Reach out! We’re happy to explore our current availability.

Do we need to commit to a certain number of nights or weeks?

Not every family needs the same level of support. Some families benefit from several nights a week, while others prefer a combination of overnight and daytime care. We’ll work together to create a personalized care plan that considers your goals, schedule, and budget. Overnight shifts have an eight-hour minimum, and daytime shifts have a four-hour minimum.

Can you help me with breastfeeding?

Absolutely! Supporting your feeding journey is an important part of what we do. Whether you’re exclusively breastfeeding, pumping, formula feeding, or combination feeding, we’re here to support your choices without judgment.. We also offer access to IBCLC lactation support for families needing additional guidance.

Do you provide support after a cesarean birth or NICU stay?

Yes. Families recovering from cesarean births or navigating the transition home from the NICU often benefit from additional hands-on support. We approach these experiences with sensitivity, compassion, and an understanding that every recovery and newborn journey looks different.

Do you offer daytime postpartum care?

Yes! Our daytime care is centered around nourishing the whole family, especially the recovering parent. Support may include newborn care, meal preparation, light household tidying, feeding assistance, emotional support, and education. We also offer specialized postpartum recovery services, including bodywork, belly binding, abdominal massage, herbal baths and gentle movement.

Do you accept insurance or employer benefits?

We work with select insurance and employee sponsored benefit programs, including Carrot Fertility, and can help you explore available coverage. Eligibility and reimbursement depend on your individual plan. HSA/FSA payment options may also be available.

What areas do you serve?

We proudly support families throughout Greater Sacramento, including Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, Elk Grove, Davis, El Dorado Hills, and surrounding communities. We also serve Sonoma County, including Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and Rohnert Park.

How do we get started?

It begins with a conversation! We offer a complimentary discovery call to learn about your family, your hopes for postpartum, and the kind of support that would feel most meaningful to you. From there, we’ll help you build a care plan and introduce you to your doula team. You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. That’s what we’re here for. ♡ www.softlandingpostpartum.com
