The Process
-
We start with an initial welcome/intake phone call. This is where we learn about your specific needs and chat about the type of care you're looking for (overnights, daytime or a combination) and how long you hope to have care based on your needs and budget
-
Based on your call and your review of our intake packet you decide on which package you would like to move forward with so we can find a doula with matching availability.
-
Next we will review your package and preferences and send you a doula or 2 who we think would be your perfect match, you can interview 1 or both or them in person or virtually and let us know which doula you have decided to embark on this journey with.
-
Once you decided to move forward with your doula we will send your proposal, an intake form to be filled out and your invoice. Clients have the option of paying off in full up front, or paying the retainer (applied to the back half of care) followed by weekly payments after care begins. After the contract is signed, invoice is paid, and questionnaire is completed, your postpartum care is locked in with us.
-
You'll contact your doula and the office sharing the exciting news that your baby is here! Postpartum care will begin on an agreed upon date between you and your doula. Some parents want doula there the first night home while other choose to wait a week or 2 so they can bond with baby alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A postpartum doula supports new mothers and families by providing baby care, sibling support, light housekeeping, and emotional support. The primary focus is on the mother’s recovery and the family’s adjustment.
-
We recommend booking your postpartum doula in your second trimester. This ensures you have support ready when your baby arrives and your doula support is reserved - we tend to book up quickly.
-
Overnight doulas provide care for your newborn throughout the night, assist with feedings, and handle light household tasks, allowing you to get uninterrupted sleep.
-
Well, you are not alone if this is a concern. We promise to promote bonding just the way you like it. You choose how your baby's night feedings will go. When a feeding wraps up- however that looks- we will gently attend to your baby’s diapering and comfort needs while you are drifting off to sleep in your own cozy bed. Then, when your baby is ready for their next feeding, you will feel refreshed ready and to go. If baby is formula or bottle fed, then you can choose to sleep all night while your doula handles feedings, or you can wake up for feedings. Totally up to you! Our clients say over and over again how feeling rested help promotes bonding during the day and on the nights we’re not there.
-
Your postpartum doula is very independent. Remember, we're there to care for you! We will bring what we need for day and overnight shifts. Our only requirements is a bed for the doula to rest during overnight shifts when baby is sleeping- usually a guest bedroom, basement with a bed, or in the nursery with a bed. No chairs or recliners for this purpose but we always welcome a safe & comfy chair to sit to feed, rock and comfort baby. No common areas such as the living room. We also require a sound machine and swaddles, along with pacifiers on hand for non-nutritive sucking (NNS).
