Birth, Postpartum, and Sibling Doula Support

Birth Doula Support

What is a Doula?

At its core, a birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to parents during labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period. That’s the textbook definition, but the reality is much deeper than that.

Ask any doula, and you’ll likely hear a story behind their calling. For me, it started with two wildly different birth experiences, one that left me feeling unsupported and unseen, and another that showed me how transformative the right care could be. I became a Doula to be the person I needed when I gave birth. Someone steady. Someone present. Someone who could hold space and offer support without judgment.

What does that look like in real life? Sometimes it means waking up at 3 a.m. and rushing to a birth. It often involves being elbow-deep in fluids and squeezed into tight corners offering hip squeezes, counter pressure, or encouragement through each contraction. I’ve napped on hospital floors, skipped meals, and missed family events. I’ve cried tears of joy alongside parents as they meet their baby for the first time. And through every long night and every hard moment, I’ve never once doubted the worth of this work. It is profound, humbling, and nothing short of sacred.

What Services Do You Provide?

My role begins long before labor starts. During pregnancy, I offer prenatal visits tailored to your needs. These visits are a chance for us to build a connection, prepare for labor, and explore what matters most to you. There’s no cookie-cutter approach here, every family is different, and every birth plan reflects that. I also offer optional childbirth education lactation prep to help you feel informed and empowered as your birth approaches.

Starting at 36 weeks, I go on-call. That means I’m available to you 24/7 until your baby is born. When labor begins, I offer continuous support, physically, emotionally, and mentally. What that looks like depends on you. For some, it’s hands-on help with comfort measures like massage, movement, or breathing techniques. For others, it’s quiet presence and holding space. I follow your lead, always adapting to your evolving needs.

After birth, I stay with you for a while to help ease the transition. That might mean helping with the first latch, tidying the space, ordering food, or just making sure you feel grounded and supported before I leave.

In the postpartum period, I return for one or more visits based on your preferences. This is a time to rest, process, and receive care. Whether you need breastfeeding guidance, bottle feeding tips, or someone to throw in a load of laundry or run to the store, I’m there for that too. The goal is simple: you shouldn’t have to do it all alone.

Postpartum Doula Support

What Does a Postpartum Doula Do?

The postpartum period is often painted as a blissful time of bonding and baby snuggles, but the truth is, it can also be overwhelming, exhausting, and filled with questions. That’s where I come in.

As a Postpartum Doula, I provide emotional, physical, and educational support to help you navigate those early weeks (and months) with confidence and calm. My role is to nurture you while you nurture your baby, because when a new parent is well-supported, the entire family thrives.

Postpartum support can look different for every family, and that’s the beauty of it: I meet you exactly where you are. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, my job is to offer reassurance, resources, and hands-on help that makes life a little easier and more manageable.

Here’s what Postpartum Doula care might include:

Newborn Care & Education
Diapering, bathing, swaddling, bottle prep, and interpreting newborn cues-I'll guide you as you build confidence caring for your baby.
Lactation & Feeding Support
As a Certified Lactation Counselor, I offer hands-on help with breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and navigating supply concerns.
Overnight Support
Need sleep? I’ll care for your baby while you rest, waking you for feeds if needed or helping with pumped milk overnight so you can recharge.
Emotional Support
I hold space for all the emotions that can show up after birth, whether it's joy, anxiety, grief, or a mix of everything in between. You're not alone.
Support After Loss or Trauma
I specialize in gentle, informed care for families who are grieving, recovering from traumatic births, or adjusting to unexpected outcomes.
Support for Unique Circumstances
Including NICU stays, premature birth, or navigating life with a baby born with disabilities or medical needs. I’m here to walk with you through it all.
Household Help
Light tidying, laundry, dishes, vacuuming, so you can focus on rest and bonding, not chores.
Meal Prep & Grocery Runs
I prepare simple, nourishing meals that support healing and lactation, and I can help stock your fridge or run errands as needed.

Learn more about responsive parenting, babywearing, sleep, and what to expect as your little one grows.

In a world that often expects new parents to bounce back quickly, Postpartum Doula care is a reminder that healing, bonding, and rest are not luxuries, they’re necessities. Whether you need practical help, emotional support, or just someone to hold the baby so you can take a shower, I’m here to help make this transition smoother for you and your family. Let me walk beside you during this sacred time. You deserve support, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Sibling Doula Support

Worried About Childcare During Labor? A Sibling Doula Can Help.

One of the most common concerns I hear from growing families is: “Who will take care of our other child(ren) while I’m in labor?” If you don’t have nearby family, a flexible sitter, or if you just want someone familiar and birth-savvy in the mix, a sibling doula may be the perfect fit.

As a sibling doula, my job is to care for your older child(ren) with love, attention, and sensitivity, so you can labor knowing your family is fully supported. This is more than just babysitting. It’s nurturing care designed to maintain your child’s routine, reduce anxiety, and support them through the transition of welcoming a new sibling.

What’s Included:

Two Prenatal Visits
Just like with my birth doula clients, we’ll meet before your due date to build a relationship with your child(ren), learn your family’s routines, and go over your preferences. These visits help your little ones feel safe and familiar with me before the big day.
On-Call Coverage
I go on call at 36 weeks and remain available 24/7 until baby arrives. When labor begins, I come to your home and provide full-time care for your child(ren) throughout the entire labor, delivery, and early postpartum period.
Care in Your Home
This service is offered in the comfort of your own home, where your child feels most secure. I maintain your family’s rhythm, whether that’s assistance with school work, meals, storytime, naps, or playing in the backyard, so your child experiences minimal disruption while you're in labor.
Supportive Transition
If you'd like, I can also help introduce your child to their new sibling when the time comes, offering gentle guidance and age-appropriate support during this big moment.

Sibling Doula support allows you to focus fully on your birth, knowing that your older children are in trusted, capable, and compassionate hands. To learn more about availability and pricing, visit the Pricing page or reach out directly.
