Sometimes the first weeks with a baby can feel like chaos, fog, or survival.  

I love to offer families expert doula support so they can turn that dynamic around! 

I help you to savor this special time and even thrive by
giving you perspective, support without an agenda or judgment,
and helping you to meet your physical and emotional needs.

Here are some specific ways that I accomplish this:

  • Help all family members understand why and how to support maternal physical and emotional recovery 
  • Provide practical support in your home so that you can prioritize rest, recovery, nutrition, and self-care
  • Help you with normal nursing, pumping, feeding, and baby care
  • Educate the family on normal newborn behavior 
  • Listen to your birth story and help you come to terms with it
  • Support everyone in getting enough sleep
  • Troubleshoot any challenges 

    I work with a limited number of postpartum families so that I can give them the attention they need.  My service area is within 15 minutes of Herndon.  Contact me early in your pregnancy to enjoy an early bird discount.  If you don't hear back after a day or two, please text me at eight zero eight 779-5824.
