Postpartum Doula Support
The weeks after birth are a time of healing, adjustment, and getting to know your baby. As a postpartum doula serving families in Lansing and across Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton Counties, I provide calm, compassionate support with newborn care, feeding, and postpartum recovery so parents can rest, heal, and grow in confidence. My care is evidence based and always tailored to your family's unique needs during the early weeks with your new baby.
What Postpartum Doula Support May Include
Every family’s needs are different, so care is always tailored to support you during the early weeks with your baby.

• A calm presence during the postpartum transition
• Time to talk through your birth experience
• Encouragement and reassurance as you adjust to life with your baby
Newborn Care Guidance

• Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or combination feeding support
• Understanding newborn cues and sleep patterns
Support for Rest and Recovery

I also help families connect with trusted lactation, mental health, and community resources when needed. Ongoing phone, text, and email support is available during your contract period.
