Hello Parents, I’m Rebecca
I am your postpartum doula, supporting you through your 4th trimester and beyond.
My Approach
Supportive - I believe that as a postpartum doula, my job is to support you in the decisions you make for your baby. You are the parent. I do abide by the AAP when it comes to safe sleep.
Guidance - I am always available for advice and guidance when you have questions. I do not give medical advice and will direct you to your doctor.
Helpful - Do you need your kitchen tidied? Do you need snacks, dinner, a glass of water? I am here to help with those daily tasks.

Why do I need a postpartum doula?
You want to spend time with your other children.
Sometimes people hire a postpartum doula in the evenings so they can spend time with their older children. I will take care of baby so you can do dinner, baths, and bed with the older ones and have some one on one time with them. Imagine a dinner where you can talk to your children and don’t need to worry about the baby.
Your need some sleep.
Overnight doulas give you the opportunity to rest and sleep. If you are nursing, I will bring the baby to you and pick her up after feeding. If you are exclusively pumping, we can do quiet exchanges of parts and milk. If you are formula feeding, you never have to get out of bed and I will take care of it all. Every morning you will wake to pump parts and bottles washed so you have one less thing to do.
You are a new parent and feel like you have no idea what you are doing.
I can help you feel confident in your parenting skills. We will discuss swaddling, feeding, bathing, playing, sleep routines, etc.
You had a rough birth and need rest.
Let’s face it, birth is not as easy as TV makes it seem and sometimes we need a little extra help. As your postpartum doula, I come over during the day. I will make sure you and baby have everything you need. I will prep meals and snacks, play with your bigger kids, and just take care of all the things you usually do. This makes your house move smoothly and helps with the transition.
You just need someone to talk to.
I am not a therapist, but I am a listening ear, a mom and sometimes we just need to talk to an adult. Parenting is hard and is something we should never have to do on our own.

This is a question I get asked a lot. What you are looking for is a house manager. If I have a opening, I am happy to help out for a few shifts, but I do not do this long-term. Feel free to reach out and see what I have available.

My daytime shifts are 5 hour and overnights are 10 hours. You can book one day, or you can book one day a week for 52 weeks. It all depends on your needs. The choice is yours.
