Doula Services
We offer day and night postpartum doula care to fit your family's needs.
Day shifts: 4-6 hours
Night shifts: 8-10 hours
Not sure if day or nights are best for you? No problem!
Essentially the support can be the same for either option. When working nights, the focus is on maximizing parents' sleep. Depending on how the baby is fed, there still may be interruptions to your sleep. Book a phone consultation to figure out what option is best for you and your family.

Our Clients Say
“Maria was so helpful when we had a newborn. So calm, and non-judgmental, and flexible and fun. I was very grateful for all the knowledge and advice. I knew that Maria would be there when we needed support and help us be confident as new parents. She reminded us what was important and what could wait until later. She knew so much about breastfeeding and baby gadgets and pediatricians. “
