Your positive postpartum experience is our priority.
Postpartum is better with help!
Having a baby is life altering! Sleepless nights, recovering from birth, and learning to care for your newborn can feel overwhelming. Parents have so many emotions and needs, but there is a critical gap in our current support systems. This is when a professional postpartum doula can help!
We know how difficult and emotional these first days, weeks, and months can be. But we believe that with support, education, and a helping hand, this transition to parenting can be a more positive experience for everyone.
Our postpartum doulas provide day or overnight care so you can finally get some rest and guidance. We assist with all forms of feeding, newborn care such as swaddling, and baby's feeding and sleeping cues. We know you can thrive in your new normal!
YOUR POSTPARTUM CARE INCLUDES:
One FREE phone consultation and one FREE virtual consultation.
Physical and emotional support in healing from labor and delivery.
Evidence-based guidance with newborn care: swaddling, bathing, feeding cues, & more.
Newborn feeding and/or lactation support, pumping, and going back to work.
Educational and emotional support for your entire family, partners and grandparents included.

"I can't say enough how extremely satisfied I am with Stephanie and her team. I knew ahead of time that having my third child would be challenging for me (especially since I have very little family in the area), but I didn't know how much until my son arrived. I needed their assistance and they surpassed my expectations. They truly cared for me and about me and for that I am so grateful. I would recommend their postpartum doula services for any mom (new or experienced) who could use the help to adjust and find her stride after having baby."

"Brittany possesses exceptional empathy and interpersonal skills. As first-time parents, we found ourselves facing a daunting new world, and Brittany was there every step of the way with an uplifting word or a gentle reassurance. She has a gift for debunking myths without minimizing our own voices, and it was this kind-hearted approach that made our journey so much easier."
