Service introduction

As a Certified Postpartum Doula, my mission is to be there for families during those tender first months after childbirth. I offer emotional, physical, and educational support, providing guidance on breastfeeding, rest, and aiding in postpartum recovery. With additional training as a Newborn Care Specialist, I bring expert guidance and hands-on support with infant care, including feeding, sleep routines, and understanding newborn behavior. Together, we'll create a nurturing space where you can thrive. Whether I'm helping with overnight baby care, household tasks, or preparing nourishing meals, your care is tailored to your specific needs. My goal? To empower you to prioritize your well-being and embark on your parenthood journey confidently, armed with evidence-based knowledge every step of the way.
