Postpartum Doula Support (Deposit)
The mainstream approach to birth and postpartum in the United States leaves most families feeling underprepared and unsupported. As a doula, my sole directive is to help you confidently navigate this incredible journey on your terms.
The reported benefits of hiring a doula include:
Improved emotional and physical recovery from birth
Reduced likelihood of developing postpartum mood disorders
Increased satisfaction with the postpartum/newborn experience
Increased success in lactation and breastfeeding
As your postpartum doula, I provide you with 1 complimentary prenatal visit, and day-time support during pre-scheduled shifts for $55/hour.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A 50% deposit is required for booking, so please add half the number of total hours being contracted to your cart.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not add this item to your cart unless you have already completed a consultation with me, we have agreed to work together, and we have agreed on the number of contracted hours.
How It Works & What’s Included
Prenatal Visit(s): Questions? Concerns? A little hands-on support getting things ready for baby? One complimentary prenatal visit is included in your postpartum support package, and is a great way to jumpstart our journey together. While a variety of topics and activities may arise (i.e. expected postpartum needs, postpartum recovery prep, lactation basics, newborn care, and baby gear), our prenatal visit(s) will be catered to you and your family’s specific needs. The visit will last approximately 2-hours. Additional prenatal visits are welcomed, but will be charged at my standard hourly rate.
Unlimited Support: I am available via phone, text, and email to provide you with emotional and information support regarding anything postpartum-related that may arise.
Postpartum Support Minimums: With daytime shifts lasting a minimum of 6-hours, postpartum shifts allow me to provide in-person emotional support, hands-on assistance, or even general guidance during the first 3-months with baby. A minimum of 3 shifts per week is also required because—very much like Mary Poppins—I fly off into the wind once you get to a point where you don’t need me anymore. Don’t worry, that means I did my job right!
Traditional Healing Practices: Your body’s job is to take care of you. I believe that time-honored, alternative practices are a soothing way to support your body’s natural healing process. Whether it’s Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) cooking, abdominal massage & Bengkung bellybinding, reiki, or perineal (vaginal) steaming—we can find time to incorporate such practices into our shifts together. Additional fees may apply.
Bundle & Save: In my experience, optimal satisfaction and healing comes from an holistic approach. That’s why you’ll receive special discounts when you book multiple services.
