What is a postpartum doula?
A postpartum doula provides emotional, physical, and educational support to families after the birth of a baby. We help ease the transition into parenthood by supporting recovery, assisting with newborn care, and offering guidance and resources.

What services do you provide as a postpartum doula?
I provide hands-on newborn care support, feeding guidance (breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping), emotional support for parents, light household help, and education on infant soothing, sleep basics, and postpartum recovery. I also offer overnight support so you can get restorative rest.

How is a postpartum doula different from a nanny or babysitter?
Unlike a nanny, a postpartum doula is trained to support the entire family — not just care for the baby. My role is to nurture the parents, help build confidence in newborn care, and provide guidance and resources for your unique postpartum journey.

Do you provide overnight support?
Yes! I am primarily an overnight doula, this is where I care for your baby during the night, assist with feedings, and help you get more sleep while ensuring your baby is well cared for. I provide up to 3 overnights a week of care.

How long do families typically hire a postpartum doula for?
It varies depending on each family’s needs. Some families hire me for just a few sessions to get established with newborn care and feeding, while others prefer ongoing support for several weeks or months, including overnight shifts- I tailor my support to fit your unique needs during the newborn period.

Do you help with breastfeeding or bottle feeding?
Absolutely! I provide lactation support, guidance on breastfeeding positions, pumping, and bottle feeding. If more specialized help is needed, I can refer you to trusted IBCLCs (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants).

Can you help with postpartum recovery?
Yes, I support physical and emotional recovery after birth. This includes help with rest, nutrition guidance, emotional check-ins, and offering resources for postpartum mood disorders if needed.

Do you support all types of families and feeding choices?
Yes! I provide non-judgmental support to all families, no matter their family structure, feeding choices, or parenting style. My goal is to support you in the ways that feel right for your family.

When should I book postpartum doula support?
I recommend booking during pregnancy to ensure availability, especially for overnight care. However, if you've already had your baby, reach out — I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs.

What areas do you serve?
I serve families in the greater Seattle and Tacoma areas and everything in between. If you're nearby but unsure if I cover your area, feel free to ask!
