Frequently Asked Questions

I was trained and certified through DONA International .

I only offer daytime support but can refer you to amazing night doulas in your area!

Some of my usual daytime duties include: picking up groceries, light housework (cooking, baby laundry, organizing the nursery), drawing healing sitz baths and foot soaks, caring for baby to give mom and/or dad a break to rest, eat or tend to other children, teaching all things baby: swaddling, feeding, baby wearing and everything in between and give referrals for other perinatal professionals if needed such as lactation specialists or massage therapists. The list goes on!

• Daytime: $40 per hour. Each visit of 4 hours costs $160. A 'package' of 5 visits would cost $800.

This is something that we can discuss and adjust at any time during our time together. I usually do morning shifts such as 9am-1pm.

• I do not perform any clinical task, give medical advice or diagnose conditions. However, I am trained to recognize signs of numerous issues related to your recovery and to baby's overall development. In such cases, I can advise you to seek medical attention and refer you to trusted medical professionals.
• I am not a nanny: I will not be alone with baby while parents are out of the home or when mom returns to work, even 'from home'.
• I am not a housekeeper: I won't scrub the whole bathroom, but I will wash dishes and tidy the kitchen!
