Postpartum doula services provide invaluable support to new parents during the post-birth period. They offer emotional, physical, and informational assistance, helping parents navigate the challenges of recovery, newborn care, and the emotional aspects of parenthood. With their expertise, postpartum doulas ensure that families have a smoother, more confident transition into this new phase of life.

Not all postpartum doulas have specific training in infant and maternity sleep consulting, but I do! I’m not you typical postpartum doula or sleep consultant. I provide a unique blend of support that helps families find the perfect balance of taking care of themselves, but also supporting their baby’s need for sleep in order to grow and thrive (and not cry all day!).

Traditional postpartum doula care has your postpartum doula coming to your home to provide support and is being paid hourly. This support is virtual so I can provide all the support that I normally do with the exception of in-home tasks with a low monthly fee (no long term commitment, but it’s best to have for at least the entire first year)

Every family has unique needs, but some things I can assist with are the following: advice on infant and parent sleep patterns, breastfeeding/bottle feeding support, recommendations for mother's birth recovery, guidance on newborn care, recognizing and responding to postpartum mood disorders, providing referral resources within the family's community, suggestions on household management and meal preparation (keeping cultural/religious traditions and recovery needs in mind!), suggestions on managing siblings with a newborn and baby product reviews and recommendations.

EVERYONE DESERVES SUPPORT DURING POSTPARTUM!!!

I have been passionate about birth and postpartum and have been working as a professional doula since 2008 and I passionately believe ALL families should have access to postpartum support. I have spent my career trying to find a way to provide that access to families who can’t afford in-home care.

Postpartum Doulas charge anywhere from $50-75/hour in the Seattle/Tacoma area. We are unique in that we specially train to know how to care for you in the postpartum recovery (physically, mentally and emotionally), care for and teach you how to take care of your newborn as well as support, guide, and enhance your parenting experience.

With that said, I understand baby’s come with many costs and my goal is to get your family in a place of recovery, confidence, and calm as quickly as possible. The faster you are feeling confident in your parenting, the sooner I can help more families!
