  • Have a question or concern that didn’t get addressed during your time with me or need a referral, but don’t know where to start? Hire me by the hour to get personalized information over Zoom. To get started, fill out the CONTACT ME form.

Getting to know you:

I'll read through your intake form and schedule a Zoom meeting with you to get to know your preferences and priorities for after the baby is born. I know you may not know how you will feel after the birth and that even the best plans can change, but it helps to give me a feel for you and your family.

When the baby arrives:

Please notify me by text, email, or phone within 48 hours of the baby’s arrival. We will talk about when you expect to be settled in at home and when the first day you will see me is.

Payment:

Your first week’s deposit is due when you sign a contract with me. This retainer holds your spot on my calendar. The remainder is due in full 48 hours before the first shift begins. You are also welcome to pay in full up front. I accept PayPal, Zelle, and Venmo.

My training

I completed postpartum doula training through DONA International in March 2022 and certified with them in 2024. I completed Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) and Advanced NCS training through Newborn Care Solutions in February 2022.

I am also adult, child, and infant CPR, First Aid, and Basic Life Support certified through the National CPR Foundation and American Red Cross.
