Postpartum Doula Services
Would you like an extra hand after your baby is born? I can help take care of you and your new family. I perform light housekeeping and food preparation, run errands, help with newborn care, help with older siblings, give breastfeeding support, and anything else that might come up. I have experience with breastfeeding and bottle feeding, diapering including cloth and disposable, and other normal newborn care.
Postpartum Doula Rates
Each daytime visit is a minimum of 4 hours and overnight visits are a minimum of 8 hours. Maximum number of visits per week is 5. Please message me for availability. My rate is $60/hr for a single baby in the immediate east bay area. A travel fee may apply for clients outside of my service area. A signed contract and a two week or 50% deposit is required to secure your booking. Please contact me if you have special requests or questions.
Gift Certificate
Gift certificates are available for any amount for any of my services! Doula Services and Placenta Services are the PERFECT baby show gift or registry item. Why not give a gift or ask for something that will be truly helpful and have lasting effects on recovery and bonding for the new family? I can offer beautiful gift certificates for any amount or service. Contact me to purchase a gift certificate for a specific amount or specific service. I can send them to you by mail or email. Clients can combine certificates for desired services. I am very flexible and happy to help with questions and planning.
Postpartum Doula and Placenta Package
The Complete Placenta and Postpartum Package (Placenta transport, placenta encapsulation, umbilical cord keepsake, placenta tincture, 2-3 Placenta prints, placenta salve) plus 3 hours of postpartum care upon delivery of package and one dozen lactation cookies. $525
Lactation Cookies
I use all organic ingredients and can customize to any dietary requirements. My basic recipe is an oatmeal cookie with brewers yeast and flax. Choose up to three goodies to add to your cookies: chocolate chips, raisins, macadamia nuts, walnuts, hemp seeds, pecans, dried cranberries, almonds, dates, etc. One baker's dozen is $35 or 5 dozen for $150. One dozen lactation cookies is included in the Postpartum and placenta package. I recommend lactation cookies for temporary boost in milk supply. Lactation cookies are helpful for temporary drops in milk supply that can occur when returning to work, sickness, separation from baby. Or when baby begins to sleep through the night, eats more solid foods, or nurses less often. Generally two to three cookies a day will help to alleviate temporary drops in supply. Cookies eaten by those not currently lactating will not induce lactation. I can ship to anywhere in the US for priority mail shipping.
