POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES

4th Trimester and Beyond

Beginning immediately after birth and up through your first year with your new baby, I'm there for you and your family as you acclimate to the changing routines and daily questions of new parenthood (even if you're not a first-time parent!)

Mental and Emotional Wellbeing

A big part of my role as a doula is holding space for you to process and share the emotional and mental challenges that accompany the inevitable stressors and massive hormonal shifts of the fourth trimester. In addition to alleviating your overwhelm and providing a non-judgmental ear, I'm trained to watch for signs of perinatal mood disorders and help you with resources and additional support if needed

Physical Support

I provide hands-on help in the comfort of your home, with everything from nourishment and rest for mama, to feeding support, to light housework, to meal prep, to newborn care, to running errands...and more

Overnight Care

Sleepless nights rank high on every new parent's list of challenges, and rest is crucial to physical and mental recovery from birth. Overnight doula care can look like bringing your baby to you for feeds or taking over bottle feeding, diaper changes, infant sleep support, light meal prep or quiet chores. Just because your little is having a rough night doesn't mean you have to ;)

Non-Biased Information

New baby life is full of questions...you deserve answers that are evidence-based and trusted. I can help you avoid the minefield of misinformation out there and build on your own confidence in making the best choices for your family

Local Resources

Often parents are looking to "deepen their bench" of postpartum support (we love a good meal delivery service or an in-home lactation consultant!) I maintain an ever-growing list of local resources to supplement my own services

Base fee for postpartum doula services: $200 / 4 hour shift (4 shift minimum required for initial contract)

Weekend postpartum doula rates: $250 / 4 hour shift

Overnight doula services: $500 / 9 hour shift

If you would like to schedule shifts longer than 4 hours, please reach out to discuss rates

As of January 2025, I am not currently taking new clients for overnight doula care; I'm happy to provide referrals for this service until my books open back up

"Hiring a postpartum doula was truly the best investment for our family, and I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough! From the moment she stepped into our home, she brought a sense of warmth, ease, and unwavering support that made all the difference in our postpartum journey.

Rachel provided exactly what we needed—nourishing meals prepared with so much love, an extra set of hands to help around the house, and most importantly, a compassionate presence that made me feel deeply seen and supported in every moment. She listened to my needs, held space for my emotions, and offered her extensive knowledge with such care and wisdom.

Her support allowed me to focus on bonding with my baby and recovering without the overwhelm, and her presence became such a comfort to our whole family. Rachel is more than just a doula—she is a loving, intuitive, and deeply knowledgeable guide through the transition into motherhood. She has become a part of our family, and we are forever grateful for her.

If you’re on the fence about hiring a postpartum doula, let this be your sign—it’s the best gift you can give yourself! Rachel, we love you! ❤️"
