In addition to time spent in person, we’ll work together to get you the support you need. Whether it is referrals, resources, recipes, articles, or videos, I have an extensive library and network to share with my clients.

But for now, here are some questions that come up for many families. If you are wondering something that is not listed here, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Q: Will you be able to help with breastfeeding concerns?

A: Most likely. I am happy to help show how we can see your baby is getting enough to eat and work on ways to increase your satisfaction with your breastfeeding relationship. I also can refer you to a trusted IBCLC should your needs not be met. Ultimately, my goal is to get you what you need with accurate information. If I can help I will tell you, and if I can't, then I know who can.

Q: Can you help figure out why my baby won't take a nap?
​
A: Babies go through so many changes in the first weeks and months. I will want to find out the specifics of your situation, but can honestly say, that yes, in most cases, I can help your baby nap and get rest so the entire family can benefit!

Q: Can you help me figure out why my baby is having a hard time?

A: Part of daytime support means having the opportunities to learn the cues and messages your child gives, and understand the normal stages they go through developmentally.  I’ll help decode what your baby is saying.  

• Is my baby overstimulated?  

• Is my baby hungry?

• My baby won't stay still for a diaper change?! 

• My baby won't stop crying!  Why is my baby still crying?

Q: What does the doula do besides help us learn about our baby?

A: This is the meat of it. My role is to help your family work. Some of the ways we have helped families are:

• Getting meals ready, or prepared completely

• Maintaining a family's task list so life does not become overwhelming

• Playing or attending to older siblings so parents can bond with their infant, or vice versa

• Travel together to stores and appointments,

• Help get set up for gentle walks so self care is accomplished, and cabin fever doesn't set in

And these are just a few!

Q: What is the fee for postpartum support?

A: Families can expect $35-45 per hour, with discounts for larger multi-hour contracts. My goal is to meet your family where you’re at, while also earning a living wage. I do have hours available for sliding scale families, so please inquire if that is what you need.
