Postpartum Doula
As a Postpartum Doula I provide family centered care to help everyone transition into the fourth trimester. I am your ally during the first days of baby’s life while the birthing parent heals physically and emotionally. Whether you need just a few hours of support or a package of multiple visits over time, I can provide both.
Some things I can provide in the postpartum period are:
Overnight newborn care
Nourishing meal preparation catered to your specific diet (including vegetarian and vegan meals)
Babywearing education
Chestfeeding support and referrals
Emotional support
Infant massage instruction
Light housework and errands
Newborn and sibling care
My Postpartum Doula Rates are:
A La Carte: $40/hour during the day hour $50 /hour overnight
I offer packages of 50+ hours at a discounted rate.
Birth Doula
Birth is a wild and magical ride. Doulas are available for everything from emotionally holding space, to physically holding you through contractions. As your birth doula I will advocate for your birth choices and support however your unique birth unfolds. Day or night, in person or by phone I will be your consistent 3rd party support to help you (and your partner) through pregnancy, birth and immediate postpartum.
A consultation for you to determine if I’m the right fit.
Informational & emotional support via email, phone and text throughout the pregnancy
3 prenatal visits to prepare for birth, discuss strategies for coping, advocacy & your birth desires
At-Your-Pace Childbirth Education Course with 5 modules (including anatomy & physiology, stages of labor, medical options/interventions, comfort management techniques and positions, partner support and more). Also includes sample birth videos & birth preparation journaling
Hands on massage techniques and demo for pregnancy and labor relief
On call support 24/7 from your 38th week of pregnancy until birth. Call/Text in the middle of the night or in the wee hours of the morning. If labor happens before 38 weeks, I will still make every effort to attend your birth. For situations when I am not available prior to week 38 a backup may be available
In-person support at the onset of labor (or whenever you’re ready) through birth
1-2 postpartum visits in your home (or place of birth) Anytime between 24 hours and 2 weeks postpartum

Fee: 1800-2200/Birth ( I use a sliding scale to support low and no cost services to folks with financial need. Paying at the higher end of my fee scale supports scholarships for both my doula services and my childbirth education course to BIPOC folks in the valley and beyond.)
For in-person doula services I work with clients in Central Massachusetts, Western Massachusetts, Southern Vermont and Southern New Hampshire.
*If you are in need of doula care but have financial limitations please contact about availability in the scholarship program!*
