This is 60 minute, virtual one-on-one consultation is for pregnant and postpartum people who want to feel confident about what to eat. This isn't for the baby's health but for your healing, too. We'll go over your current eating habits, concerns and goals in this session. We'll also go over nutrition guidance tailored to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and you'll leave the session with meal ideas, snack suggestions and supplement support if needed. Perfect for first time parents or experienced birthing folks looking for a reset! Please note: I am not a registered dietician or licensed medical provider.

Frequently asked questions

What is a postpartum doula, and how does it differ from a midwife or a night nurse?

A midwife or doctor handles pregnancy, birth, and medical care. A night nurse is scoped to the baby overnight. I am a postpartum doula, so my focus is you after birth: recovery, rest, feeding support, light household help, and meal prep, all non-clinical. For example, a night nurse feeds the baby, burps, changes diapers, soothes them back to sleep, and tracks sleep so you can stay in bed. A postpartum doula who does overnight care will do that same baby care when needed, plus bring you water and a snack, supports latch or pumping, washes bottles and pump parts, and preps breakfast for the morning. One is scoped to the baby. The other is scoped to the household, including you.

What does a typical postpartum visit look like?

A daytime visit runs about three to four hours and covers the household, including you: feeding support, help with soothing and newborn care, a meal or snack for you, and light tidying like bottles or laundry. An overnight visit runs the same way, but in eight hour, overnight shifts. with the baby cared for, fed, and settled so you can sleep. Each visit is shaped around what your family needs that day.

Why hire a postpartum doula if my family will be here to support?

Family support is so important during this journey of your life! But having your family around may not holistically fill the need for recovery. That’s because your parents, cousins, aunties, and besties aren’t just your support system, but they are also guests in your home. That means they may end up holding the baby while you catch up on laundry or cook a meal for yourself for the first time all day. My job as your postpartum doula is to support you and the entire family. That means meals, laundry, feeding support, and newborn soothing handled, so your family can be present with you instead of running your household. You get to rest and heal, and they get to simply enjoy the baby.

What are your rates, and do you offer payment plans?

Daytime support is booked in 4-hour visits, in three packages: - Light: $600 (12 hours, 3 visits) - Mid: $1,200 (24 hours, 6 visits) - Top: $1,800 (36 hours, 9 visits) Overnight care is booked in 8-hour shifts at $60/hour: - Single night: $480 - One week (3 nights): $1,440 - Two weeks (6 nights): $2,880 Meal prep and extra hours are available as add-ons. Care relating to loss or abortion is available on a sliding scale. A nonrefundable deposit reserves your dates, with the balance due at your first visit, and payment plans are available.
