In-Person Postpartum Doula Support

The early weeks are hard. You shouldn't have to do them alone.

The first 16 weeks postpartum are unlike anything else. Your body is healing, your baby needs everything from you, and the learning curve is steep — even if this isn't your first time. This is the window where having real, hands-on support in your home makes the biggest difference.

That's what I'm here for.

What I Offer

In-person postpartum doula support is practical, physical, and present. It's not advice on a screen or a checklist to follow on your own. It's someone in your home, helping with the baby, supporting your recovery, delegating the household tasks, and making sure you don't feel like you're drowning in your own home.

I work with families in the first 16 weeks after birth. We start even before baby arrives.

How It Works

Postpartum packages of 12 hours each | Includes1 hour Intake Session

We begin with a prenatal intake session — ideally before your due date — to map out your postpartum plan and your existing support. Who's helping when? What does recovery look like for your body? What do you need most right now?

After baby arrives, I come to you. Here's what support can include:

Newborn care: Infant care education, baby wearing support, feeding help (breast or bottle), and newborn attunement: helping you and your baby find your rhythm together.

Postpartum recovery: Emotional wellness support for both parents, help in navigating the early identity shift that comes with a new baby, and assistance coordinating medical appointments. And honestly? Someone to actually ask how you're doing.

Household support: Baby laundry, light housekeeping, and organization.

Family integration: Sibling transition support and help adjusting to your new family dynamic, because adding a baby affects everyone.

Expert referrals: A curated list of local providers I trust: pelvic floor therapists, lactation consultants, craniosacral therapists, yoga instructors, and support groups. Sometimes the most useful thing I can do is connect you with exactly the right person.

This is right for you if:

• You're pregnant and planning ahead for postpartum (recommended)

• You're currently in the first 16 weeks after birth and need support now

• You're located in my service area (Kent, Renton, Maple Valley, Newcastle, Bellevue, Issaquah)

• You want hands-on, logistical help, not just someone to talk to

If you're past 16 weeks, or not in my service area, one of my other services is likely the better fit. Learn more →

FAQs

When should I reach out — before or after the baby arrives? Before, if possible. The prenatal intake session is where we build your plan, and it's much easier to think clearly before you're in the thick of it. That said, it's never too late to ask for help — reach out wherever you are.

Is this the same as having a night nurse? Not exactly. A night nurse typically focuses solely on overnight infant care. My support is broader — newborn care plus your recovery, your household, your emotional wellness, and your whole family system.

Do both parents need to be involved? Nope, though I'm happy to support both. Some families have one primary parent, some have two — I'll meet your family where it is.
