Service introduction

Welcome! Congratulations on your growing family! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Kumari Mason and I'm a certified postpartum doula dedicated to helping families feel supported, confident, and cared for during the fourth trimester. My approach combines compassionate emotional support with practical, hands-on care so you can focus on healing, bonding with your baby, and adjusting to life as a new parent. I have a special passion for supporting families with NICU graduates and medically complex infants. As a pediatric intensive care (PICU) technician and postpartum doula, I understand the unique challenges that can come with bringing a baby home after a hospital stay. Whether your little one requires specialized feeding support, extra monitoring, or you simply need reassurance during this transition, I'm here to walk alongside your family with empathy and evidence-based care. My services include: * Overnight postpartum support * Newborn care and parent education * Feeding support (bottle, breastfeeding support, and paced feeding guidance) * NICU homecoming and transition support * Emotional support for parents * Light household tasks related to baby care, including bottles, baby laundry, and nursery organization Every family deserves to feel supported, rested, and empowered. My goal is to create a calm, judgment-free environment where you can ask questions, gain confidence, and receive the care you need during one of life's biggest transitions. I would be honored to be part of your village and look forward to supporting your family's journey.

Working with Kumari was an incredible experience. She supported me throughout my pregnancy, labor, and delivery, and helped ease my fears every step of the way. Her knowledge, compassion, and calming presence made such a difference during this special time. If you're looking for a doula who is truly supportive, caring, and dedicated to her clients, I highly recommend her.

Kumari was very well prepared and reliant during a difficult time postpartum. I appreciate how supportive she was whenever I felt over whelmed. Her services were nothing short of amazing. I definitely recommend booking her
