Postpartum Doula

Birth is just the beginning of the exciting (and exhausting!) journey of parenthood. You and your partner don’t have to go through this time alone. If you do not have family or friends nearby to help you in the first few weeks after birth (and even if you do!), I can provide experienced, judgment-free support and encouragement for new parents, babies, and partners so you can feel confident as you enter a brand new phase of life. We can plan for me to join you at the hospital or after you bring baby home.

I can provide:

Everyone will be paying attention to the baby, but you just did all the hard work!

  • Personal care (showering, dressing, makeup and hair care)
  • Monitoring for postpartum mood disorders like depression or anxiety
  • Minor breast/chestfeeding support
  • Interpreting and responding to baby’s cues
  • Bengkung belly binding (see below for more information)

Care for Multiples

Birth is just the beginning of the exciting (and exhausting!) journey of having multiples. You and your partner don’t have to go through this time alone and shouldn’t. If you do not have family or friends nearby to help you in the first few weeks after birth (and even if you do!), I can provide experienced, judgment-free support and encouragement (based on my extensive multiples experience), so you can feel confident as you enter a brand new phase of life. We can plan for me to join you at the hospital or after you bring your babies home.

I can provide:

Everyone will be paying attention to the babies, but you just did all the hard work! And let’s admit it, multiples are hard work!

  • Personal care (showering, dressing, makeup and hair care)
  • Monitoring for postpartum mood disorders like depression or anxiety
  • Minor breast/chestfeeding support
  • Interpreting and responding to baby’s cues
  • Helping to establish a routine that works for your family needs
  • Bengkung belly binding (see below for more information)

Bengkung Belly Binding

If you want to speed recovery of your stomach muscles, support your posture for breastfeeding, or just pamper your postpartum body and find emotional closure after pregnancy and labor, consider bengkung belly binding! This Malaysian tradition uses long, beautifully hand-dyed cotton or muslin wraps to bind your abdomen and hips as you recover from birth. Unlike Western-style belly bands, the bengkung wrap can be loosened or tightened to custom fit your body as it changes during the recovery process and is both supportive and flexible.

  • Initial Visit and Binding

  • Follow-Up Visit

Pregnancy and birth is all about opening your body for your baby and binding will help reseal you physically and emotionally. Binding encourages your stomach muscles, which have separated during pregnancy, to strengthen back together in a shorter period of time, helps to reshape your hips, can assist with diastasis recti and helps to support posture while breastfeeding. It also reduces the postpartum “pooch” that many women experience as their womb and stomach organs protrude out due to poor muscle control in the abdomen.

Meal Planning

For moms who are plagued with morning sickness, nausea, or gestational diabetes during pregnancy, eating can be an unexpected pleasure after the baby is born, but who has time to cook with a new baby in the house? Planning ahead for this simple comfort will ease the initial anxiety and stress and be one less thing on your plate (haha) after you come home.

Meal planning services start at $75.

If friends and family are nearby and want to help, I can coordinate meal preparation and delivery to meet your needs and desires, from food preferences to dietary restrictions to drop off times. (Any time but nap time!) You won’t need to fuss with an online signup after the baby comes home.

If you’d rather have meals ready to go, I can prepare freezer meals before the birth, make shopping lists and pick up groceries, or plan and make meals that you can enjoy without worrying about prep or cleanup. I can also suggest foods and dishes that support breastfeeding and postpartum recovery.
