Postpartum Support

 
 

Consultation
> A complimentary consultation (in-person or virtual; 30min to 1hr) is offered to anyone thinking of hiring for postpartum support. If you are also looking to hire for birth support, these consultations can happen as one.
> This time is for discussion of your postpartum needs & desired routine after your birth, as well for any questions you have about doula services.

Planning
> At the time of my hire, (can be before or after birth), we will have one planning meeting (1hr) to discuss postpartum preferences and create a plan of support.

Services
> These will vary depending on your individual needs and are absolutely subject to shift over time. These services can include:

  • Assistance with newborn care (diapering, bathing, feeding, comforting)

  • Infant feeding support (breast/chest-feeding, bottle feeding, formula feeding)

  • Household tasks (errands, light housekeeping, meal preparation)

  • Sibling care

  • Pet care

  • Support for partner(s)

  • Emotional support — processing birth story and any necessary referrals.

Postpartum doula fee
> $25 / $35 / $45 (an hour) sliding scale.
> In deciding on a price point for yourself, please read about my sliding scale.
> Postpartum shifts begin at a minimum of 2 hours and extend to a maximum of 6 hours.
> Exchange of mutual services & bartering also available.

Reproductive support should be accessible to you regardless of income, period. If you’re concerned, let’s chat — payment schedules are always negotiable and I accept exchange of services as an alternative to direct payment. Beyond my own offerings, I can absolutely connect you with a trusted peer or collective to support your needs.
