Services

My support services help the baby and the family in the days or months after birth. As a postpartum doula I provide education about infant care as I look after your newborn so you can rest and recharge, knowing your little one is in good hands. I also offer support in the practical side of things: laundry, dishes, housework, cooking and running errands. My training in lactation counseling and infant massage adds to the continuity of care that I offer. “Having a reliable doula or village to rally around you while you bond with your baby can be critical to maternal-infant attachment, mental health, and future parenting.” When we work together you haven’t just hired me, you are also being connected with the birth and parenting community that I work with closely such as: Bay Area Night Doulas and the Marin Doula Circle. It’s important to me that you and your family feel well-supported!

 
 

LACTATION EDUCATION COUNSELING

  • I work with families from preconception through the stage of weaning offering education, encouragement, counseling, an experienced point of view, and fostering confidence, and a commitment to breastfeeding.

INFANT MASSAGE EDUCATION

  • I teach infant massage to parents and caregivers to enhance parent-infant bonding, improve and maintain the physical well-being of babies, and facilitate long-term, positive emotional development in families.

POSTPARTUM DOULA SUPPORT

  • I believe in judgement-free support.  When you bring your baby home, I will help guide you through your new role as parents.

  • I Listen to You!

  • I assist with breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding challenges.

  • I make sure you are fed and hydrated throughout the day.

  • I will go anywhere with you and the baby (doctors appointments, walks to get fresh air or even for the baby’s first UBER ride).

  • I care for your baby while you nap or decide to shower.

  • I encourage a daytime schedule for you and your baby so you get off on the right foot.

  • I take the worry out of keeping your household running smoothly by helping with laundry, organizing the baby’s room and keeping the kitchen clean.

  • I nurture, educate  and empower in a non-medical fashion so you become the confident parents you are meant to be.
