The Virtual Postpartum Package is set up to provide as much support as possible to families during the time of COVID-19. Postpartum is already a time of introspection and withdrawal while families integrate their new baby into their lives. Currently, parents are faced with increased isolation or fewer social contacts. The Virtual Postpartum Package allows families to have access to a supportive, trained doula to process birth stories, explore “what’s normal” with infant care and postpartum recovery, breastfeeding/bottle feeding/pumping support, provide ideas for partners on how to best help and support their birthing partner and baby, and answer your questions regarding sleep, infant development, bonding, baby wearing, soothing, sibling transitions, and navigating relationships.
This package can also be used as support for families with a baby in NICU. Your doula will discuss this with you if the need arises.
These sessions include all sessions via phone call, FaceTime, Zoom, or Google Hangouts
-1 one-hour postpartum planning session during pregnancy
-1 30-minute session to finalize plan closer to due date
-1 session after arrival (between 2-4 weeks), minimum 30 minutes up to one hour, to discuss postpartum experience, adjustments to postpartum plan, and process birth
-Additional time can be purchased for $20/hour if further support desired by birthing family
The goal of postpartum planning sessions is to get birthing families to explore their expectations for their postpartum experience, what supports they have available, what supports they will need, and discuss a variety of skills for caring for a newborn and new parent. These sessions also include evidence-based education about postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, local resources, recipe/meal planning ideas, recommendations for reading/apps/podcasts, product recommendations, and more.

If purchased before the baby comes, this includes a 1 hour virtual consultation to help better identify needs, goals, and questions you may have so we can start out with a stronger foundation. This is ideal for those who have a strong local support network but would benefit from a bit of additional support or parents who want a pay as you go option but want to secure time on the schedule beforehand.

Up to 2 sessions, minimum 30 minutes up to one hour, to process loss experience, explore “what’s normal” with recovery, explore comfort and coping techniques, and gather any other information needed for referrals to local support. These sessions are not clinical in nature, as doula is not a mental health practitioner. If more professional assistance is needed for mental health, doula will be able to make appropriate referrals.
