Postpartum Doula Support

                      1. Overnight Doula Support-  $6,500 for 10 overnight shifts of postpartum support:

Each overnight shift is 10 hours long, usually from 9pm to 7am or 10pm to 8am. Although other schedules can be discussed.

This is ideal for the families that want support during the night time to be able to have dinner together, and get ready for bed while your doula tends to the baby. This allows the new parents to sleep as much as possible and recover. As your doula, I will hold your baby, oversee diaper changes, bring baby to you for feedings (if breastfeeding), burp baby and put baby back to sleep. This will reduce your awake time and limit the disruption to your partner's sleep.

    *A la carte overnights can be requested at $700 per 10-hour shift. 

                   2. Basic Postpartum Doula Package- $975 for 15 hours of postpartum support, additional hours can be purchased a la carte for $70 per hour.

This package can be used in a two-week time frame, we will customize a schedule to better fit your family’s unique needs. You can use the hours in 5-hour shifts.

                       3. Deluxe Postpartum Doula Package- $1,950 for 30 hours of postpartum support, additional hours can be purchased a la carte for $70 per hour.

This package can be used in a 3-week time frame. During these 3 weeks, we will focus on your physical and emotional recovery, I will offer ongoing lactation support, I will oversee baby care, and offer support as needed for a smooth transition of your partner’s return to work.

Virtual Lactation Support

Bringing a baby home during a pandemic is not something any parent had ever hoped for. I understand how scary and isolating this can feel- and as a Lactation Specialist my goal is to help bridge the gap that is left by the lack of physical support during a especially vulnerable time of your life. I will help you troubleshoot any lactation issues while keeping your safety as my top priority, by doing so virtually.

  • Engorgement.

  • Painful latch.

  • Low supply.

  • Back to work.

  • Pumping.

  • Bottle feeding.

  • Weaning off the pump.

  • Weaning off the breast.

 I understand that in light of COVID-19 pregnant people around the world are facing fears, concerns and obstacles never encountered before. My goal is to make you feel as supported as possible under these new circumstances. I will guide you through the changes you may be facing in your birth spaces and preferences. I will help you understand your options and help you advocate for your needs and your rights. I will be here for you every step of the way.
