Service introduction

Hi and congratulations! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Mara, and I’m a postpartum doula, Certified Lactation Educator (CLE), and CAPPA-trained New Parent Educator with additional training from the Sacred Window School. I provide hands-on support with newborn care, feeding (breast/chest, bottle, and pumping), emotional support for parents, light meal prep, and guidance around postpartum recovery. With a background in psychology, I offer trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming care that meets you where you are. As a mom myself, I bring both professional experience and real-life compassion to this work. My services start at $60/hour. I’m available for day or overnight shifts starting July 7 and welcome both private pay and Carrot clients.
