The essence of postpartum doula care

Welcoming a new bundle of joy into your life is a magical experience, but it can also be challenging. That's where I come in as your dedicated in-home postpartum doula, providing the nurturing care and support you deserve during this precious time. Let's create a sanctuary of love and well-being for you and your little one.
Whether you enjoy a steady supply of nourishing meals, a healing aromatherapy massage or guidance on infant care and maternity, postpartum care should be as unique as you.
As postpartum doula, my goal is to empower you in your motherhood journey and truly support you through the fourth trimester in ways that will make you feel held, supported and nourished.

What’s included in a postpartum visit?

Below is an overview of all the beautiful ways in which I can support your family during an in-home postpartum doula visit. Keep in mind that each of my visits will be a little different, depending on the type of support that may be most beneficial for you that day. I will always check in with you at the beginning of a visit to determine how I can best support you while I am invited in your home.

Feeding Support

Get help with breastfeeding, bottle/cup feeding or pumping. Learn about effective techniques & positions. Referrals to certified lactation consultants (IBCLC) as needed.
Meal Preparation

I love whipping up nourishing, healing and postpartum-appropriate meals, snacks and beverages. Postpartum menu available to help you heal and be nourished from the inside out.
Infant Care & Hygiene

Learn about general infant hygiene and wellbeing, body care and diapering (for disposable and cloth diapers). Or simply let me take care of giving baby a bath while you rest ;-)
Aromatherapy Massages

Let your postpartum body be pampered with a soothing aromatherapy massage! In addition to baby massages, I love massaging mama’s aches & pains away with certified organic essential oils.
Healing & Recovery

Get basic guidance on maternal recovery after birth, including pelvic floor health, mental health and how to nourish your mind and body to improve your overall wellbeing.
Emotional Support

Have a safe space to share your feelings (judgement free), process your birth story or simply chat about your new reality as a parent. Be heard. Be held. Be mothered.
Informational Support

Get evidence-based answers to your pressing questions about the postpartum period, newborns, motherhood and beyond (yes, anything goes!).
Soothing Techniques

Need help soothing your little one? Learn how to wear, swaddle, soothe and sleep with your baby – safely and comfortably – all while calming your own nervous system.
Sleep Support

Learn about safe sleep tips and tricks for baby and parents, no matter where baby sleeps. Or: let me take care of your baby while you take the time to take a much-deserved nap!
Troubleshooting

Get evidence-based advice on what to do with common infant troubles, such as reflux, fussiness, sleep issues, or gassiness. Of course, mama’s recovery is addressed, too!
Referrals to Specialists

Get referrals to vetted local professionals specialized in perinatal care (lactation consultants, chiropractors, psychotherapists, osteopaths, pelvic floor physios etc.).
Guided Meditations

Let me guide you through a gentle meditation to help you relax, unwind and focus on yourself. Integrate mindfulness and self love to find calm and confidence in your motherhood journey.
Staying Home with Baby

Need to go to a medical appointment or run an errand outside of your home? Let me take care of your little one while you step out, safe in the knowledge that your baby is in good hands.

“Kat was such an amazing help to our family in the weeks following our hospital discharge. She is an attentive listener, provided useful and practical feedback and helped ease stress and doubt in those first few weeks at home with a new baby. She’s also a whiz in the kitchen and makes fantastic bone broth and delicious lactation treats, too!”

— Katrina Deane-Riggio
