In-Person Support.

Home Visits

What does a home visit look like?

Because I tailor in-home support to each family’s needs, this can be difficult to answer. Overall, I assess each client where they are during that time and provide the emotional and practical support that they need now. All visits begin with a check-in.

And then, they could look like this:

  • Emotional check-in, help with breastfeeding, bring mother food and water, change out garbages, make beds, do one load of laundry, prepare meals for the week.

Or like this:

  • Birth story processing, provide self-care and healing education, prepare a sitz bath for mother, care for baby while she tends to her physical needs, discuss a practical plan to get better sleep.

Or this:

  • Provide education on normal newborn feeding and sleeping behavior, teaching mother how to use a breast pump and showing partners how to effectively bottle feed, education on infant massage.

This does not cover it all, but hopefully gives you an idea of what you can expect from how I provide postpartum care. Have something specific in mind? Just ask!

Home visits generally last 3-4 hours and can be purchased à la carte.

Hospital Visits

I offer one hospital visit for clients who book my premium package, This usually happens when baby is at least 24 hours, depending on time of delivery. During this time, I can help with birth processing and provide a latch/feeding assessment, provide medical advocacy, and help the family with a plan with the transition home.

For families who’ve hired a birth doula, I will work closely with her to maintain continuity of care for you and maintain strong medical advocacy for your entire hospital stay.

*This service can be transferred to a home visit for birth center and home births.

Hospital visits can be purchased à la carte.
