My goal is to help parents cope with common postpartum issues such as lack of sleep, anxiety, an the newness of a newborn that can bring doubt. Having a kind ear to listen and also help determine what is or is not normal can alleviate a lot of stress.

As a postpartum doula I have helped a lot of newborns breast and bottle feed. Often there are very simple adjustments I can help with. Learning to lay down and nurse is an advanced yet important position for resting and relaxing. I am aware of my scope of practice and also when to call in a lactation consultant.

Postpartum doulas help with newborn care tasks such as bathing, diapering, feeding, and soothing. Baby wearing is also a wonderful way to soothe a newborn.

The nourishment for new parents is crucial for healing, milk supply and emotional regulation. As a doula, I can help with meal prep, shopping, cooking and making sure the family is well nourished.

Doing baby’s laundry, washing bottles, tidying up after baby’s first bath. Cooking and going to the grocery store are all important things for a household to run smoothly with a newborn in the house.

I provide sibling care, help with playtime, give your older children some attension they might need. As a postpartum doula I also provide support to partners. Helping partners adjust to their new role as a parent and offer guidance on how to best support the birthing parent and to support themselves.

Sometimes an overnight doula is necessary to get back on track and reset. I can provide overnights with an 8 hour minimum. As a doula, I bring you your hungry baby to breastfeed or I give your baby a bottle as you can sleep and pump when you need to.

I listen to the ways you need more nourishment, laughter or books. Boulder hs filled with a network of amazing practitioners and we all work together as a team. I am here to help you brainstorm what you are needing day by day.
