Frequently Asked Questions

For our initial meeting, I am happy to meet in a public place such as a café before care begins, so we can get to know each other and ensure it feels like a good fit. After that, most of my support happens during in-home visits.

Focusing my doula care on the postpartum season means I have more consistent availability since I am not on call as a birth doula. My schedule is stable and centered around in-home support.

My visits are 2+ hours, allowing time for both practical and hands-on support in the home.

I intentionally take on a small number of families at a time, which allows for greater appointment availability and additional flexibility when needed.

When I enter your home during such a vulnerable time, I hold one core assumption: you know your baby best. In a culture filled with constant parenting advice, products, and “shoulds,” my role is to help quiet the noise and support you in reconnecting with your own instincts and confidence

No, I do not offer overnight support but can help you find someone who does if that is what you are needing.

I am not an IBCLC or lactation consultant. My support can still help create conditions that support breastfeeding by reducing stress, increasing rest, and giving you more time to bond with your baby. I also provide nourishing food, which can support milk production. If breastfeeding challenges come up, I can help you find local lactation support

No. Watching your baby while you are not there would be considered baby care which is not what I do. Rather, my support is focused on the birthing person to aid in recovery from birth and deeply rooted in helping you keep you and your baby close.

No. While I had a supportive partner, postpartum check-ins with midwives, and a meal train, I still felt under-supported. The transition into motherhood was more intense than I expected, and I believe a postpartum doula would have made a meaningful difference. You can read my full story here
