The first weeks at home with your newborn should be filled with joy and bonding—not exhaustion and overwhelm at 3am wondering if you're doing everything right.
​
Here's the truth: the postpartum period is hard. Your body is healing, hormones are shifting, you're running on minimal sleep, and suddenly you're responsible for a tiny human who didn't come with instructions.
​
You don't have to do it alone. Our certified postpartum doulas and newborn care specialists provide the hands-on support, expert guidance, and rest you need during those crucial early weeks.
What Is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula is your trained, non-medical support person during the fourth trimester—the first twelve weeks after birth. We provide hands-on newborn care, feeding support, recovery assistance, and practical help so you can heal, bond with your baby, and build confidence as a parent.
Think of us as your experienced guide who's been through it all—we teach you everything you need to know, handle the overnight feedings so you can sleep, and make sure you don't just survive these weeks but actually enjoy them.
What we do:
Newborn care education, feeding support (breast and bottle), gentle sleep rhythm establishment, recovery support, sibling adjustment help, light meal prep, and household tasks. We support all feeding methods and parenting styles—no judgment, just compassionate, evidence-based care.
Our team:
All postpartum doulas and newborn care specialists are certified in infant/pediatric CPR, background-checked, extensively trained in newborn care, and Carrot Fertility approved providers. We accept Carrot benefits, making postpartum doula support accessible through your employer benefits. For specialized breastfeeding challenges, our International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) are available for in-person or virtual consultations.

"I could not be happier with this team of doulas, they are truly amazing! Joselyn helped us for 3 months after the birth of my twins and I truly am not sure what I would have done without her! It was so nice to get the critical sleep that I needed while knowing that my babies were getting the best care possible!"
Luke Van den Bos
"Hiring Marisa as our Doula was an exceptional experience. As first time parents my wife and we're very overwhelmed and Marisa was there to guide us and allow us catch up on rest."
Brittany Wan
"Where can I begin? Donna and her sisterhood have become one of the best support systems outside of family. As a first time mom, I had a difficult postpartum but with the knowledge and experience from Donna and the doulas she worked with, we have learned so much and finally starting a rhythm!"
