Postpartum Doula

What People Are Saying

“She helped take care of the newborn, supervised the older kids and helped me get some needed rest. Rebekkah was able to assess what needed to be done and did it without me needing to tell her what to do. She is a wealth of information and when I had questions she knew how to answer them and gave me the resources. Rebekkah helped make the transition easier for my family and I and gave me the confidence I needed to get back on my feet. Rebekkah is someone who you can trust and is dedicated to giving her clients the best care.”

— Emily Jett, Daytime Postpartum Doula Client

“The most important thing to me, as a first time mother, wasn’t all of the delicious meals Rebekkah made for us, or all of the laundry she did, or the dishes she washed- although all of that was extremely helpful! It was the nurturing and emotional support that Rebekkah provided to me as I was transitioning into the fourth trimester. She helped reduce my stress and anxiety and answered all of my questions about newborn care. She also took the time to listen to my husband’s version of our birth story, which was equally as important for him to process.”

— Cara Decker, Daytime and Overnight Postpartum Client

Overnight doula care will help you get the maximum number of hours of sleep overnight. As your postpartum doula I will support all methods of feeding overnight and soothe baby throughout the night so everyone in the house can get a restful night sleep. As time (and baby) allow, I will also help with laundry, dishes, meal preparations, and emotional/information support while I am in your home.
