What Sets Us Apart as Postpartum Doulas

Our approach to postpartum care is completely tailored to each family. We provide holistic, thorough care in the weeks following the birth of a baby to ensure you feel surrounded with intentional support.

Though we have supported over 500 post-birth families, our clients often refer to us as truly nonjudgmental and relatable beyond being experts in our field. We are committed to the process of shared decision making and will never presume to know what's best for your family and your life.

Our ultimate goal is to help parents feel confident, educated, and resourceful. To this end, we offer ongoing text and phone support between in-person visits, an exclusive Facebook group for long-term community, and access to our referral and resource lists well after our time in-person comes to an end.

What We Provide

Postpartum support by a doula in home care after birth

Complimentary Consultation: A virtual consultation helps us get to know you and any support people who will be present in your home post-birth.

Scheduling Flexibility: Daytime doula care typically takes place between 9am-9pm, with Katie focusing on mornings and early afternoons and Amanda offering afternoon and evening care. We do not require specific days and times booked in advance of birth; clients booking packages have their spot held on the calendar for a period around their estimated due date and scheduling is simple and direct once baby is born!

Individualized Care: Each visit begins with a check-in to hear parents' and caregivers' concerns and questions. Sometimes postpartum doulas spend the majority of the postpartum visit caring for the newborn while parents rest; other times, doulas are doing practical work to help the household run smoothly. Often, a little bit of everything takes place over the course of the visit.
