Postpartum Support
No matter where you may be in your birthing journey; early days of pregnancy or the last few weeks before welcoming your little one home, planning for postpartum support is essential in your recovery.
As a postpartum doula, I am here to support you during your 4th trimester. Whether that is for the first few days home after the baby arrives or to add a little more support in those initial weeks of parenthood. I am here to assist during the day or night to help your family transition into a life with an infant.
​
Similar to birth, I do not believe that there is a one-size-fits-all when it comes to postpartum care. Around 38 weeks we will have a virtual meeting where we can discuss your overall vision for once baby is home, what is important to you for the next 12 weeks and how to best to best support yourself physically and mentally.
My ultimate goal for postpartum support is to create an environment where parents can ease into parenthood with confidence.

Similar to birth, I do not believe that there is a one-size-fits-all when it comes to postpartum care. Currently "I offer 2 postpartum packages: Becoming and Bridging the Gap. Once you have selected a package you feel will be the most supportive to you, we will connect for a free consultation to answer any questions. After contracted, we will schedule a postpartum prenatal to create a schedule for your postpartum period + discuss more of what that time will look like.
