🌿 Postpartum Care & In-Home Support
The early weeks with a new baby are not meant to be managed alone.
You are recovering from pregnancy and birth. Your baby is learning you, and you are learning your baby. Your household is adjusting. Meals still need to appear. Laundry still happens. Older children still need care.
And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you need to rest and recover too.
My postpartum doula care supports the mother, baby, family, and home during this transition — often called the fourth trimester or Sacred Window.
My work is informed by Ayurvedic postpartum traditions, formal postpartum care training, trauma-informed support, yoga, functional movement, and years of hands-on experience supporting women and families.
The goal is not simply to help you “get things done.”
The goal is for you to feel cared for while you care for your baby.
What If What You Need Isn't Overnight Baby Care?
Many families begin looking for a postpartum doula because they think they need someone to take over the baby's care at night so they can sleep.
My approach is different.
I believe the early postpartum weeks are a time for mother and baby to learn one another. Newborn waking, feeding, closeness, and responsiveness are normal parts of this transition — and for lactating mothers, the body continues participating in that nighttime rhythm too.
Rather than replacing you as your baby's caregiver, I support you during the day so you have more capacity to care for your baby at night.
Imagine waking after a long newborn night knowing:
Breakfast is ready.
There is food in the refrigerator.
The kitchen is clean.
Feeding supplies are washed.
Laundry is handled.
Your postpartum supplies are stocked.
And someone is coming that morning to care for you.
I can hold your baby while you shower or nap. Prepare something warm to eat. Reset the kitchen. Fold laundry. Care for an older child. Refill your water and snacks. Help you settle your body and recover.
Sometimes what an exhausted new mother needs isn't someone to take her baby away.
She needs someone to take care of everything around her so she can rest, recover, and settle into motherhood with her baby.

MAKES A WONDERFUL GIFT
Older Sibling Care
$45/hour
Experienced, nurturing care for the children who are already part of your family.
Sibling care can be arranged while you are at the hospital or birth center, or during postpartum when you need time to sleep, recover, attend an appointment, or spend uninterrupted time with your new baby.
As a seasoned mother with more than 20 years of parenting experience, I am comfortable stepping into family life and helping older children maintain familiar routines during this transition.
3-hour minimum when booked separately.
Sibling may be part of your doula hours. However, dedicated sibling care is en lieu of other doula services.
Pet Care During Birth
Starting at $40 per visit

Multiple daily visits or extended pet care can be arranged based on your family's needs.
Pet care can also be added to Bring Baby Home Preparation.
Infant Massage
$120 private session

🌿 Rooted in Traditional Postpartum Care
My approach is informed by training through Sacred Window Studies, where postpartum is understood as an important period for healing, nourishment, warmth, rest, and long-term well-being.
I combine these traditions with evidence-informed postpartum education, functional movement, yoga, and practical support for modern family life.
This means I am comfortable stepping into your home and seeing the bigger picture.
I don't need you to hand me a checklist while you're exhausted.
I can notice that the water bottles need filling, breakfast needs making, yesterday's dishes are still in the sink, the laundry needs moving, and you haven't showered yet.
That is part of caring for you.
💛 This Is More Than a Mother's Helper
A mother's helper can provide wonderful practical assistance.
A house cleaner can care for your home.
A babysitter can care for your children.
Postpartum doula care is different.
I support the whole postpartum transition — your recovery, nourishment, baby, household, emotional well-being, movement, rest, and changing family dynamics.
Household tasks are part of my care because a sink full of dishes, an empty refrigerator, and a pile of laundry directly affect your ability to rest.
But the dishes aren't the center of the work.
You are.
Who Is This Care For?
My approach may be a good fit if you want someone who is:
Experienced, proactive, and comfortable taking initiative
Able to support your home without constant direction
Knowledgeable about postpartum recovery and the postpartum body
Comfortable supporting both baby and older children
Interested in caring for the mother, not simply completing tasks
Respectful of your family's choices, values, and rhythms
Whether this is your first baby or a subsequent baby, this is still a transition.
You have never been this mother, with this baby, at this particular moment in your life before.
You deserve support for that transition.
🌿 I Care for You So You Can Care for Your Baby
I may hold your newborn while you sleep.
I may change a diaper, soothe your baby, or give you enough space to take a long shower.
But my purpose isn't to replace you as your baby's caregiver.
My work is to care for you while you settle into caring for your baby.
You deserve nourishing food.
You deserve rest.
You deserve a home that feels manageable.
You deserve support for your healing body.
You deserve time to learn your baby's rhythms.
And you deserve someone caring for you while so much of your attention is devoted to caring for everyone else.
I don't replace the mother-baby relationship. I protect the space around it.
🌿 Ready to Talk About Postpartum Support?
You don't need to know exactly which package you need before reaching out.
Tell me a little about your pregnancy, due date or new baby, what kind of support you're imagining, and what feels most important to you.
I'll help you determine what level of care makes sense for your family.

Serving Boulder County and surrounding communities.
This season deserves care. Not just help.
🌿 In-Home Support Beyond Postpartum
The kind of care we need after having a baby isn't entirely unique to postpartum.
There are other seasons of life when keeping up with meals, laundry, errands, household tasks, pets, and everyday responsibilities becomes difficult — and having a capable, caring person step in can make an enormous difference.
I also offer personalized in-home support and companion care outside of the postpartum period.
This may be a good fit for:
Someone recovering from surgery, illness, or injury
An older adult who could use additional help at home
Someone living with a disability who needs practical household support
A family temporarily managing an illness or major life transition
Someone who simply needs an extra set of capable hands while they recover
Support is non-medical and personalized to the individual.
Depending on your needs, a visit may include meal preparation, grocery pickup, laundry, light household care, organizing, errands, pet care, companionship, or simply helping keep everyday life moving while you focus on yourself.
My role is not to replace skilled nursing, home health care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or other medical services.
It is practical, compassionate care for the person and the life happening around them.
If you're unsure whether your circumstances are a fit, you're welcome to reach out and tell me what kind of support you're looking for.
