with Rebecca Christian, CLD, CPD, CLEC
01
Healing Postpartum Care
Day + night postpartum care designed to promote healing after birth and a smooth postpartum recovery. Support and guidance, nourishing nutrition, and an emphasis on mental health and wellness will transition your family during the postpartum period.
02
Lactation Support
Breastfeeding + lactation can be a challenging yet rewarding experience for both you and your newborn. From home birthers to NICU parents, I provide hands-on support to help families achieve their breastfeeding and lactation goals.
03
Newborn Care
From sleep education and feeding support, to babywearing and newborn behavior, experience a combination of learning and support that is evidence-based and culturally competent.
04
Night Care + Newborn Sleep Coaching
Gentle, age-appropriate, baby-led sleep strategies that will help you and your newborn get off to a great start with sleep. For parents wanting hands-on sleep coaching help, nighttime contracts are available.
What's a postpartum doula?
A postpartum doula works with a new family during the “4th trimester,” or the first 12 weeks after birth, filling the space between a midwife and a nanny. Someone once called me “Mary Poppins,” and that would be accurate except for the fact that I don’t sing.
Depending on your family’s needs and my current schedule, I may recommend bringing in 1 or 2 more postpartum doulas that I partner with to fully serve you. If so, 1 or 2 of us will visit at a time, tidy up a few things as needed, pop some food in the oven, and hold your baby so you can shower and nap. Once all is calm, we will quietly head out, leaving a sweet echo of our care in the form of food in the fridge, clean laundry, and some helpful tips and tidbits about baby care. I also have training and experience in working with women diagnosed with a Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD) such as postpartum depression.
