Postpartum Doula Support
The postpartum period is one of the most important times in a new parent’s life.
As a full spectrum doula, trained postpartum chef, and childcare specialist, my goal is to “recreate the village” through my packages of care - education, guided rest, nourishment, and childcare support.
Hiring a postpartum professional eases the transition into parenthood and help you cross this threshold with support and confidence.

Postpartum Doula Package
This package supports you in the first days, weeks, and months after you give birth. It’s often said that postpartum is forever. I’m here to help you get off to a good start.
Each session is tailored to your needs, focusing on key issues of the postpartum period such as:
breastfeeding and lactation support
newborn care and education
support to the birthing person (gentle massage, sitz bath, etc.)
in-home support
food preparation and meal-rain coordination
access to my extensive list of referrals
Sessions range from 3-6 hours. Overnights are possible by request.
“Abby has a perfect demeanor for a doula! She is warm, calm, and a good listener. She was supportive and super flexible as a postpartum doula, offering help and asking where her help was most needed. We asked for help making food, so she batch cooked us a few delicious meals, and shared some of her expertise about postpartum nutrition. We felt very comfortable having Abby in our home and around our newborn!"

Postpartum Chef Package
Food is medicine, and this couldn’t be more true than in the crucial postpartum period. While you’re focusing on caring for your baby, let me nourish you with in-home, homemade meals catered to your postpartum needs.
In each 5-hour cooking session, I’ll fill your fridge with delicious, nourishing meals such as
Chicken soup with red dates and ginger
Whole-roasted spiced cauliflower with tahini, herbs, and toasted seeds
Moroccan-spiced shepherd’s pie with ground lamb and lentils
Crispy ginger fried rice with egg and scallion
Rice pudding with coconut milk and cardamom
Sibling Doula Package
So often, parents wonder how they will care for their children during the delivery process. As a sibling doula, I will help prepare your child for becoming a big sibling, educate them on the birth process, and make sure they are supported and taken care of while you are at the birth.
This package includes
Virtual support and access to my extensive list of referrals
On-call support starting at 37 weeks
Continuous in-person childcare support for up to 24. Additional support available at an hourly rate
Support can include taking child to preschool, making meals, maintaining all bedtime and daily routines, and educating them about birth and becoming a big sibling
Home-birth support, such as care during labor, education about birth, and support for the inevitable emotions and feelings that come up
Abby is highly professional - took great care of our older one when we went for the delivery of our second baby to the hospital. Highly responsive, great at communicating, very thoughtful in terms of asking the right questions about approach as everyone is different. Would highly recommend her!
