What to expect

Bringing home a new baby is life-changing—and while it’s full of love, it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and lonely at times. That’s where I come in. I offer nurturing, personalized postpartum and sleep support to help you feel more confident, more rested, and less alone during this tender season of life. Whether you need hands-on help with your newborn, guidance around feeding, or just someone to talk to who gets it, I’m here to support you with calm, compassionate care—either in your home (if you’re in Western Connecticut, Putnam or Westchester County, NY) or virtually, wherever you are in the U.S. I also help new families establish healthy sleep habits from the very beginning, setting the stage for better rest—for everyone. As a certified pediatric sleep coach, I support children from birth through age six using gentle, responsive methods that meet your child where they are. From sleep struggles and newborn routines to postpartum planning and baby registry guidance, every service I offer is designed to ease the mental load and help you feel held, heard, and supported.

Frequently asked questions

1. What does a postpartum doula do?

A postpartum doula is like having an extra pair of hands and a calm, caring presence during one of the most intense times of your life. I’m here to help with whatever you need—whether that’s soothing your baby, supporting feeding, holding space for your emotions, or making sure you get a shower and a real meal. I care for the whole family, not just the baby—so you can rest, recover, and feel more confident as you adjust to life with your little one.

2. Do I need to book a certain number of hours or a package?

Not at all. I offer flexible, hourly care with no required packages. We’ll talk about your needs and design a schedule that works best for your family—whether that’s a few hours a week or more consistent support.

3. What kind of sleep support do you offer?

As a certified pediatric sleep coach, I support families virtually with gentle, age-appropriate strategies to improve sleep from birth through age six. I know that every child—and every family—is different, so I meet you where you are and help find the approach that feels right for you. Whether you’re facing frequent night wakings, short naps, or bedtime battles, I offer customized sleep plans, virtual coaching, and ongoing guidance—so you’re never left to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll create healthy sleep habits that support your child and bring more rest to your whole household.

4. Can I work with you if I’m not local to Connecticut?

Yes! While I offer in-home doula care in Western Connecticut and the surrounding areas, my sleep coaching and postpartum support services are available virtually to families across the U.S.

5. When should I reach out for postpartum or sleep support?

For postpartum support, the earlier, the better! I recommend reaching out during pregnancy if you can, as I often book several months in advance. That said, it’s never too late to ask for help—whether you’re preparing ahead or already deep in the newborn phase, I’ll meet you where you are. If I’m unavailable for in-person postpartum doula care, virtual support is a great alternative—especially for sleep. You can start sleep support at any time, but the younger your baby is, the easier it usually is to build healthy sleep habits. Starting from day one with gentle, age-appropriate strategies may even help you avoid the need for formal sleep training later on.
