First Night Home
Your first night home with a newborn may feel overwhelming — having a Postpartum Doula can help. When you bring your baby home, you can feel assured that an experienced professional is on hand to help you with nighttime feedings and soothing the baby down for sleep. I will also help care for you as you recover from birth. Overnight support for the first night home is something many clients say helped with their transition to life at home. This service can be particularly helpful to first-time parents.
Daytime Postpartum Support
Your health, healing, and happiness matter. As your Postpartum Doula, I will ensure you are getting sufficient rest, nourishment, and support during the day. I can answer any questions you have, assist with nursing/pumping, and help you care for your healing body. Often I will hold the baby while you shower or rest and when my arms are free I help with light household and meal prep.
Lactation Support
Struggling to breastfeed? Frustrated with your baby's latch? How do you know if baby is getting enough to eat? Nursing and bodyfeeding are not always easy and many people need help and guidance, especially in the beginning. While lactation support is always included in my postpartum visits, I will also meet clients who want support only in this area.
Virtual Services - Postpartum Prep Session
Not sure how to prepare for life with a newborn? Curious about what to really expect after birth? This 90-minute 1:1 session guides expecting parents and their partners and helps them prepare for the hours and days immediately after birth. This session focuses heavily on basic newborn care in days 1-5 and self-care in the postpartum phase.

In addition to postpartum services, I hold virtual classes and private sessions through Brooklyn Embodied. You can sign up for Individualized Privates (1 hour) focusing on diastasis repair and postnatal recovery.
