A postpartum doula blends knowledge, comfort, and compassion so your transition into parenthood feels supported, not overwhelming.
…feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of a newborn and your own recovery?
…struggling to get your baby to sleep, or wondering if they’ll ever sleep through the night?
…having trouble with breastfeeding or navigating pumping schedules?
…feeling isolated or unsure who to turn to for guidance and support?

Meet Your
Postpartum Doula
Hey, I’m Sarah B.
I’m Sarah, your postpartum educator, doula, and fellow mama.
I know firsthand how tender, messy, and transformative the postpartum season can be. I’ve lived through the sleepless nights, the endless questions, and the overwhelming mix of love and exhaustion that comes with caring for a new baby. (I’ve also learned that sometimes a hot shower and a snack do more for your sanity than any fancy parenting hack.)
My role as your postpartum doula is both practical and nurturing. That might look like soothing your baby so you can nap, figuring out pumping or feeding rhythms together, or simply holding space when the emotions of new parenthood feel heavier than expected. It might also mean helping you troubleshoot breastfeeding, discussing all the quirks of newborn behavior, or setting up systems to help you prioritize recovery and rest.
I bring knowledge and calm, and a grounded presence. My goal isn’t to tell you how to do things — it’s to walk alongside you as you find what works best for your family, offering reassurance, perspective, and maybe even a few much-needed hugs. My support always comes from a place of empathy and zero judgment, because every parent deserves to feel both capable and cared for.
Our Support
Postpartum can be unpredictable. With a doula by your side, you can lean into calm, comfort, and confidence — even in the never ending cycle of eat - sleep - poop. Support is always tailored to your family, your rhythms, and your values.
Inviting a postpartum doula into your home can look like:
Overnight care so you can actually rest — someone to soothe your baby while you get the deep sleep you desperately need.
Daytime support that gives you space to shower, nap, eat a hot meal, or simply breathe.
Infant care education: swaddling, soothing, bathing, baby-wearing, and reading your baby’s cues with confidence.
Feeding support whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, pumping, or some combination — judgment-free help with positioning, latch, bottle prep, and troubleshooting.
Practical household support: folding laundry, loading the dishwasher, prepping meals, or tidying so your space feels calm and livable.
Emotional support: a listening ear when you’re processing birth, crying from exhaustion, or laughing at the messy beauty of it all.
Partner support: helping them feel included, capable, and confident in caring for both you and baby.
Normalizing the difficult: reminding you that yes, cluster feeding, messy emotions, and spit-up-stained shirts are sometimes part of the experience.
When you invite a postpartum doula into your life, you’re not just getting an extra set of hands — you’re gaining a steady presence, a soft place to land, and someone who sees and supports the whole of your postpartum experience.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by postpartum life?
Navigating the unknowns: Questions about what’s “normal” in your healing, your baby’s needs, and your shifting family dynamics.
Conflicting advice: Opinions from family, friends, and endless internet searches that leave you doubting your instincts.
The longing for support: Wanting to feel rested and reassured, but instead stretched thin by the constant demands of a newborn.
Relentless rhythms: Sleepless nights, nonstop feeding, and unpredictable routines that make even basic tasks feel overwhelming.
Emotional ups and downs: Joy, wonder, and love woven together with exhaustion, anxiety, or guilt that can feel hard to juggle.
The pressure to “bounce back”: Expectations to recover quickly or “do it all” — while your body, mind, and emotions are still finding balance.
Neglecting yourself: When was the last time you ate, showered, slept, drank water, or just had a few uninterrupted moments to yourself?
Here’s how postpartum doula care can help:
🤍 Compassionate Guidance: Gentle reassurance and evidence-based insight on feeding, newborn care, and recovery.
🤍 Practical Support: Light household tasks, meal prep, and baby care so you can focus on healing and bonding.
🤍 Emotional Care: A safe, nonjudgmental space to process the big emotions of postpartum.
🤍 Restorative Presence: Overnight or daytime support so you can truly rest, knowing your baby is in trusted hands.
🤍 Partner & Family Support: Helping your whole household adjust with confidence, clarity, and teamwork.
Our goal is for your postpartum season to feel supported, sustainable, and deeply cared for — not just something to survive, but an experience where you can thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
✨ What exactly does a postpartum doula do?A postpartum doula provides emotional and informational support, as well as hands-on care, for you and your newborn during the early weeks and months after your baby arrives. That might look like helping with diaper changes and bath-time, supporting feeding (whether breast, bottle, or combo), offering tips for infant soothing techniques, tending to your postpartum recovery, guidance for your infant and family routines, or simply making sure you get deep rest while someone trustworthy watches over your baby. We offer calm, evidence-based guidance and hands-on help when everything feels new and overwhelming.
✨ Are you certified?Yes, I am a certified postpartum doula! I received my certification from Childbirth International.
✨ HOw is a doula different from a nanny or babysitter?A postpartum doula is trained to care for the baby, the birthing parent, and the whole family dynamic providing emotional support, feeding guidance, recovery tips, and help with daily tasks — all while empowering the family to find their rhythm. While a nanny or traditional babysitter’s scope is specific to childcare, they may not be trained in postpartum recovery, infant development, or the nuances of the postpartum transition.
If you’re looking for someone to help you rest, recover, bond with your baby, and find your new normal — you’re probably looking for an experienced doula. Here, we always aims to meet the greatest needs of the moment. Sometimes support looks like: hands-on newborn care, lactation education and guidance, over-night care so parents can catch up on rest, support with newborn feeding and sleeping routines, discussion and insights for postpartum recovery, processing your birth story, folding laundry, washing bottle and pump parts, and so on!
✨ Do I really need a postpartum doula?Postpartum is a season that’s often underestimated — it’s more than just “taking care of the baby.” Families are navigating recovery, emotional changes, new routines, and endless questions. While partners, relatives, or friends may want to help, they may not always know how. A postpartum doula brings training, experience, and non-judgmental support, so you don’t have to piece everything together on your own. Our goal is to help your family thrive, not just survive.
✨ Is investing in postpartum support worth it?We understand that inviting a doula into your home and postpartum bubble is both a personal and financial decision. It’s natural to weigh the cost against everything else you’re planning for your baby’s arrival. Many families will prioritize spending for their baby showers and nurseries, yet the raw realities of the postpartum season are often neglected. No matter how beautiful the nursery is or how many adorable onesies you have, the postpartum period is physically, emotionally, and relationally demanding.
Having a postpartum doula means you’re not navigating recovery, sleeplessness, and newborn care alone. It’s the reassurance that what you’re experiencing is normal, guidance that eases overwhelm, and practical care that brings comfort when everything feels intense. Families often share that this support gave them a smoother, more confident start to parenthood.
✨ What are my options for investing in doula support?We aim to make investing in doula support as straightforward and flexible as possible. Once you decide to move forward, we’ll send you an electronic contract and invoice. Payments can be made securely online via debit/credit card, bank transfer, or HSA/FSA card, if applicable. To make things more manageable, we can also offer flexible payment plans for some of our clients; let’s discuss an option that works for you!
Some insurance plans and health savings accounts may cover or offer reimbursement for perinatal education and doula services. We’re happy to provide a copy of my certification, a detailed invoice, our EIN and NPI numbers, insurance claim codes, and anything else you may need to submit for possible reimbursement. It is also a great idea to add a ‘postpartum doula’ to your baby-registry, and talk to your friends and family about supporting this important element of your care.

Postpartum is beautiful…
and overwhelming.
As your postpartum doula, some days are spent soothing your baby so you can finally get a few hours of rest after a stretch of sleepless nights. Other days, it might be walking through how your breast pump works before returning to work, talking through what’s typical for newborn feeding, fussiness, or sleep, or simply making sure you’re nourished and hydrated. Sometimes it’s simply listening as you process the highs and lows of new parenthood.
We bring the experience, calm, and practical guidance with the goal of helping you recover, adapt, and feel less alone in this season. Whether we’re troubleshooting lactation, supporting your recovery, or carving out space for you to breathe, your doula’s role is to offer grounded, non-judgmental care every parent deserves.
Postpartum doesn’t have to feel like a fog you push through on your own — it can be a time of healing, connection, and growth. Having a postpartum doula isn’t a luxury; it’s a critical part of building a smoother, healthier, and more enjoyable transition into parenthood.
With support, you can feel:
✨ Seen and cared for — someone notices the small wins, the challenges, and everything in between.
✨ Calm and grounded — steady guidance reduces stress and anxiety when days feel long and unpredictable.
✨ Confident in your choices — reassurance and practical strategies give clarity on feeding, sleep, recovery, and routines.
✨ Connected to your “village” — you don’t have to do it all alone; support surrounds you, giving your family a strong foundation.
Research shows that up to 1 in 5 new parents experience postpartum depression or anxiety.
A trusted, nonjudgmental support person can make an important difference — providing emotional support, helping you recover, and reassure you that your baby is thriving.
Postpartum support helps you reclaim joy, feel competent, and create a solid foundation for your entire family’s wellbeing.
With a doula by your side, you gain a steady presence, a helping hand, and a compassionate guide through the ups, downs, and everything in between.
As your postpartum doula, I’ll meet you exactly where you are, offering rest, reassurance, and practical help so you can focus on what matters most: healing, bonding, and growing into this new chapter with confidence.
The early weeks with a new baby are tender yet intensely transformative — and you don’t have to go through them alone.
With the right support, this season can feel calmer, more connected, and more joyful.
