Postpartum Doula Consultation
Consultations are done virtually via Zoom. Typically, consultations last one hour, depending on topics covered.
Reasons you may consider a consultation:
- Seeking information and support for infant feeding

- Difficulty sleeping at night
- Questions about newborn care
- Excess infant crying or fussiness
- Improve emotional coping skills for parents
- Companionship and encouragement
- Putting systems into place to manage baby and household needs
- Putting systems into place to ensure that mom’s needs for sleep, nutrition, and rest are also being met
- Concerns about skin to skin or bonding
- Questions about herbal or nutritional supplements during postpartum
- And more!
Once you sign up for your consultation with a postpartum doula:
- We will contact you by phone or email within 1 business day to schedule your appointment.
- You will receive intake forms via email to fill out and return to us. This gives us a better idea of the type of support you are seeking.
- During your appointment, you will work with us to clarify your goals and will receive support and guidance.
- You will leave our meeting with clear steps to start working toward your goals in an achievable, sustainable way. We are invested in your success!
- Follow-up appointments vary according to each individual client’s needs. For some, one appointment to ask questions and clarify goals is all they need! Some clients desire regular follow-up appointments for further guidance. This is your wellness on your terms!
If you have any questions, feel free to email us before signing up for an appointment. We are here to help!
