Postpartum Doula

  • These packages are available to local clients only and include: two prenatal visits to plan your fourth trimester and how I can best support your plan; scheduled support visits up to 3hr each through the fourth trimester to transition to motherhood, assist with household care, mental and emotional support, breastfeeding help, babywearing, meal prep, self and infant massage; a one year membership to the Mother’s Circle postpartum support group; general care and “mothering the mother”.

    Three packages differ only in the number of postpartum visits and the meal preparation options.

    “Basic” $1000 - 6 home visits; meal and snack support during home visits.

    “Mid” $1300 - 8 home visits; prenatal preparation of snacks and meals done with you in your home during one prenatal visit.

    “Full” $1600 - 10 home visits; groceries for 4-5 preselected meals and snacks are paid for additionally by you, prepared by me, and delivered to your freezer, ideally before baby arrives.

    Additional visits can be purchased after the fulfillment of the contract, if needed. Visits are intended to be completed by the end of the fourth trimester.

 

Breastfeeding Counsel

  • If you are struggling with breastfeeding your newborn, the issue is time sensitive. If you are struggling with an older infant, it is still time sensitive. You have enough on your plate as a new parent to not suffer through or put off getting help. Your breastfeeding journey is important. That is why my aim is to support you in-person within 24hrs of your contact. Often times it is as little as a few hours, or by the next feed.

    Don’t put off asking for help. The sooner you contact me, the faster you can get some clarity on the situation and a plan of action created to help you resolve the issue. I can see you in hospital immediately postpartum, or in the comfort of your home.

    Hourly rates apply @$40/hr. You can send a message through the Contact page, or Facebook Natural Strength Birth Services.

 

Babywearing Consulting

  • Babywearing is a wonderful way to bond with your baby, learn their sleep and feeding cues, have two hands free to do some of those necessary house chores, improve your milk supply, and so much more. Mom, dad, and any caregiver can benefit from learning the basics of babywearing.

    If you want to try babywearing, but don’t know where to start, I can help. If you have no idea which carrier to buy, I have a large selection to try and we can discuss your needs for which one or two styles may be your best options. If you were gifted with a carrier and don’t know how to safely use it, I can teach you the basics.

    Practicing with one of my weighted dolls in your second trimester of pregnancy is the best time to learn the essentials. But anytime is a good time to learn this valuable parenting skill.

    Private sessions only. Contact me to set up a time.

 

Mother’s Circle

  • We are a confidential support group for postpartum moms who meet weekly by Zoom, so regardless of weather, naps, illness, or travel, you can connect with us every week. I believe that having a community is incredibly important to help moms through the journey of motherhood. We are here to listen to your challenges and celebrate your successes with you. Everyone gets a chance to talk; you will be heard.

    Local guest speakers join our meetings monthly to give you information on safety, nutrition, and anything and everything relevant to parenting.
