SAN FRANCISCO DAYTIME POSTPARTUM DOULA CARE
We all have an image of how we would love our first days and weeks at home with our new child to be. Healthy, connected, loving, and calm are words the families I serve often use to describe how they Want to feel. Without quality support, postpartum can instead feel exhausting, overwhelmed, and full of questions. My role as your postpartum doula is to help you feel confident, relaxed and nourished as you ease into parenthood.
What will it feel like to have me in your home as your postpartum doula?
I understand that this is an incredibly precious time for you, and that by hiring me you are inviting a stranger into your home and family. As a mother and grandmother myself, I get it! While the thought of skilled postpartum support sounds really enticing, you may be wondering what it’s like having me in your home. My clients describe feeling relief and calm from our first visit, knowing that they don’t have to do this alone. I want you to be sure that we are a great fit, and encourage you to reach out now for your free postpartum doula consult.
Wondering how much postpartum support is needed for just one little newborn baby?
It’s easy to underestimate just how much work having a new baby can be! There is a big learning curve as new parents, and it starts the moment your baby is born. I am here to help you with all kinds of tasks you take for granted right now, but will make a world of difference once you have your baby. One of the unique aspects of my postpartum doula services is my professional background as an Executive Assistant. This means I love keeping track of details and will go above and beyond in helping your first weeks and months feel well-organized & smooth as can be.
BABY > As a baby care expert, I will help with diapering, bathing, soothing, and of course feeding guidance and education, whether you choose to breastfeed, bottle feed, or both.
PARENTS > My priority is your well-being as parents, ensuring that you are well-rested, nourished, and are growing in confidence and understanding of your new role. I also screen for postpartum depression and anxiety issues, helping you to get the support you need.
HOUSEHOLD > Part of my role is to help you manage the household. I wash dishes, bottles, pump parts, run errands - usually on my way to your home, light housework, picking up around the home, sweeping, sometimes light vacuuming, meal prep (on occasion), and do the baby's laundry. I also keep on top of key supplies such as diapers, wipes, laundry soap, etc. so you don't run out! This way you can focus on healing, bonding & sleep!
DAILY LIFE > I will help to remind you of appointments and other time-sensitive tasks that need your attention while you’re in babyland.
