Daytime Postpartum Doula Package – $100/3 hours

  • I will be there to listen, comfort, instill confidence, and love on you as you transition into motherhood. The postpartum period is full of emotional and physical upheaval – this time can feel so overwhelming! Let me look after you so you can look after baby. I want to meet you where you are at, instill a strong foundation, and show you what ROCKSTAR parents you are! My goal is to leave you feeling better than how I found you. I can teach your loved ones how to best support and help you during this time, cook and prep healing foods, assist with breastfeeding, baby care and infant massage, babywearing, swaddling, soothing sleep techniques, sibling care, hold the baby while you sleep or shower, and be that shoulder to cry on.
  • Additional hours can be purchased at $25/hour.

Postpartum Meal Prep – $120, plus your personal cost of groceries

  • Before our session, we will work together to come up with a nourishing, healing meal plan, full of meals you know and love.
  • Once we have our grocery list, you will place a pickup order, and I will pick it up on the way to your house.
  • I will make all of the meals in your own kitchen. It will be a combo of freezer and fresh, depending on your personal preferences.
  • Sit back, relax, and enjoy a fridge full of home cooked meals!
