Postpartum Doula Services

As your Postpartum Doula, I will support your family and give you time to rest and heal, while offering infant care instruction, nourishing foods specific to postpartum healing, and breastfeeding and lactation coaching. I’m educated in the proper postpartum healing process and can give referrals to specialists as needed. I’ll hold space and help facilitate healing from any emotional distress surrounding your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum period. I want you to feel supported and loved during the time you need it the most.

I offer daytime postpartum support only. (If you need overnight support, please reach out to me for referrals to some great Night Doulas in your area.) During the daytime, I’m able to answer all of your questions, support you through feedings, and offer hands-on guidance on caring for your postpartum body and your new baby.

Postpartum Offerings

I offer physical, mental, and emotional support while you're adjusting to parenthood. I'm able to promote your healing through nourishing foods, rest, and physical support. You will have a safe space to process your birth experience and the emotions surrounding it.

I'll give live demonstrations on newborn care, such as diapering, bathing, and swaddling, and teach you my best tips and tricks on how to soothe and calm your baby. I'm well-versed in baby-wearing techniques and have experience with dozens of infant carrier brands. I'm able to guide you on how to engage and play with your baby, and I offer extensive knowledge on age-appropriate toys and activities as your baby grows.

As a trained Breastfeeding & Lactation Coach, I can guide and assist you with proper breastfeeding techniques, positioning, and latch. I offer guidance on paced bottle feeding and burping techniques. I have experience with many breast pumps and can help make a pumping plan that works for your family's needs. I'm well-versed in the proper handling and storage of breastmilk and formula.

I love to cook! I have hundreds of delicious recipes with an emphasis on postpartum healing, including options for dietary restrictions (vegan, GF, etc.). I'll create grocery shopping lists and meal plans for your family. I'm happy to prep freezer meals, cook family meals, and prepare healthy snacks and treats.

I'm an extra set of hands to help get the normal daily home tasks done that you would otherwise do yourself. I can help with light housekeeping, including dishes, baby laundry, and tidying, so you can spend your time resting and healing. I can assist with efficient organization and restocking of feeding and changing stations.

 

I offer sibling care and can assist in their adjustment to the new baby and house dynamic. I've been specially trained in assisting with introducing pets to the new baby and safety measures to ensure a happy household.

Postpartum Client Testimonials

"I cannot recommend Denise enough for her postpartum doula services. She is such a joy to have in the home during such a vulnerable time. She is full of so much knowledge and helpful tips and even as a second time mom she gave me the confidence boost I needed when things got tough. Her cooking is delicious and her baby calming skills are second to none. Would absolutely bring her on again as part of my postpartum support team."
Leanne S.Postpartum Client
"Hiring Denise was the best decision I made preparing for the fourth trimester. She came highly recommended by very respected professionals who have been in the doula/midwife community for many years and she did not disappoint.

Denise was dependable, communicative, nurturing, kind, clear and so so caring! She is truly a gift to new mamas and I’m so grateful to now call her a dear friend!"
GabrielaPostpartum Client
"Denise was professional and prompt. Communication is top notch with allowance to ask questions on days she didn't work. We are very happy we hired Denise as a Postpartum doula because when we left the hospital, we were pretty lost and had a hard time understanding our daughter's needs.

She showed us how to soothe our daughter, assisted with breastfeeding, and taught us how to bathe our daughter. Thank you so much for assisting our family on how to function. Without your guidance I fear there would be a lot less sleep and more screams."
YutineFirst Time Parent
"Denise was with us before, during, and after my wife's pregnancy. I could not have imagined this experience without her. The combination of expertise and emotional support was everything for my wife and I. We trust her like family!"
NicholasHusband of Client
"Denise was my postpartum doula following the birth of my third child. She stayed with me in the hospital during recovery and then helped us get adjusted at home. She was incredibly helpful in the hospital and was great with our older kids as well as with our newborn once we were home! She's a great cook and is truly invaluable in helping create a smooth transition with a new baby in the family. I don't know how I did it without her with my first two kids. We will definitely hire her again for our next baby!"
EmilyClient with Infant & Siblings
"Denise is amazing! We are baby-wearing, bed-sharing, baby led weaning and mindful parents and always felt supported in our choices. We also do EC (elimination communication) which Denise took on successfully with our daughter. I could trust her completely in all aspects of taking care of our baby girl, the rest of us, and our house."
ShellieFirst Time Parent
"Denise started with us when our baby was 6 weeks old. We were first time parents, sleep deprived, and in need of help. Our baby had reflux so getting her to sleep during the day and night was a challenge. Denise not only brought a calming spirit to our house, but she brought a wealth of knowledge.

She is a baby expert and provided us with tools every step of the way (things you’d never get from a book!). Our daughter loves her and so do we!"
HeatherFirst Time Parent
"I highly recommend Denise to anyone interested in working with a labor or postpartum doula! She is so knowledgeable and informative on all things pregnancy, labor, and newborn care. Denise was invaluable as a postpartum doula - as first-time parents with no family in the area, she was a lifesaver during a very stressful and intense time. She is a delightful person that you will be glad to have welcomed into your home.
