About me
Hi mom and dad! I’m Lavi, a certified postpartum doula in newborn care specialist. I’ve been supporting families for over 8 years - with breast-feeding education, newborn sleep support, overnight care, meal prep, and lifestyle changes for high-risk pregnancies. I love all things, mom and baby and a mother of two boys myself (17 & 12). I would love to help you get acclimated to your new baby, get settled into a new rhythm, and feel confident in parenting. Feel free to reach out. I work with a team of trained, certified and background checked doulas and we are all here to help you build your village!

Service introduction
I offer daytime and overnight support for household. Care includes prioritizing mom‘s mental and physical healing (nutrient dense foods, teas, wound care, belly binding, rub downs, sitz baths, and just plain talking!). I also help parents understand their newborns through newborn education, breast-feeding, and latching support, and total care for baby, especially overnight. Total care includes changing diapers, feeding or bringing baby to mommy to nurse, pumping support and milk storage, baby laundry, nursing organization, and overall tidying. There’s so much more that goes into new Mommy and new baby care so please reach out to talk!
Ratings and reviews
My wife and I really enjoyed working with Lavi. I reached out to her because my wife was very overwhelmed and I was about to return back to work. She came in our household and really helped my wife find peace. She helped our baby fall asleep on a schedule (which she is still on), she always made sure my wife had something to eat, every time I came home from work my wife was very relaxed and I learned a lot about how I can help. I think she made a huge difference in our lives and I’m very glad that she was able to support us.
