Book your support
“ The postpartum support is beyond words. Our society does not do justice to how hard the postpartum journey can be. It’s a beautiful time, but a solid support system is paramount and our doulas helped to provide that. They recognize for you (especially newbie first-time moms) how much it is needed. I had no idea what to expect and what this beautiful journey would entail as a novice. It was wonderful to have trained and knowledgeable loving doulas by our side pre and post the birth of our precious daughter. ”

The Details

  • If the budget allows, our recommendation is to book 6-8 weeks of daytime support to cross major milestones including the likely stabilization of hormones for the birthing parent, getting through baby’s first growth spurts/fussy periods and getting to a place where baby can sleep for longer stretches.

  • Visits are a minimum of 3 hours and there is a minimum booking of 18hrs per daytime postpartum doula.

  • Prices range from $35-100/hr based on the doulas’ experience, credentials, and expertise.

  • Our doulas are unlikely to be able to commit to specific days of the week for visits weeks in advance. They will schedule with their clients week to week to provide flexibility for when births arise and more immediate support is needed.

  • Before birth, we recommend adding a 2 hr prenatal session with your doula to do a walk through of your space and to put together a postpartum plan for the family.

  • All of our postpartum doulas have gone through background checks and are up to date with their Tdap vaccines.
