Sleep deprivation is one of the most difficult parts of parenthood.

Postpartum Doula
Having a baby doesn't end with birth. The next three month (aka the 4th trimester) are some of the most crucial weeks for baby and family bonding. Much like a birth doula, here I offer physical comfort measures to recovering moms, emotional support, educational support about newborn behavior and breast-feeding support. I also offer practical assistance like light house keeping, laundry, meal prep, etc. In essence, I lighten the load so you and your partner can focus on what's most important: bonding with your new baby as a family.

Night care of baby so parents can get much needed rest.
Food prep/ postpartum nutrition and caring for mama during the day so she can bond with baby and relax.

Birth Doula
Birth is one of the most powerful and vulnerable experiences of a person's life. In this time, many people find that having the support of a doula allows a couple to focus on their experience as a unit, and provides support to both the birthing parent and the parent's support system. You can relax into the birthing experience, allowing me to be there as a guide and physical support.
As a trained, objective party, I not only provide hands on comfort measures and recommended laboring positions, but I also help you get the information you need to make decisions that are in alignment with your desires and with the health of you and your baby.
