My postpartum doula support includes basic household chores and emotional support while facilitating rest and recovery. Meals are also included. As a postpartum doula, I take on the often invisible work that women do to keep a household running. I often coordinate care with Amanda Barta of Envision Birth. We work together to give your family the support you need. Book a consult to make a postpartum plan. Packages start at $200 for 4 hours of support.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are you a lactation consultant?

    I am a certified breastfeeding specialist or CBS. My particular course of study was 90 hours. More info about different kinds of lactation support here.

  • When do you have appointments available?

    My current availability varies. I try to be available 1-2 afternoons a week and early weekend mornings. Please check my Contact page for my latest availability.

  • What do you charge for breastfeeding consults?

    My current rate for in-home breastfeeding support is $50/session. Most sessions are about an hour in length. Traveling 20-30 miles outside of Duluth incurs an extra $10/session.

  • Do you travel outside of Duluth?

    At this time, I try to keep my consults within Duluth or about 10-15 miles from my home in Lakeside. I’m available to travel 20-30 miles more for an extra $10/session. These fees are subject to change.

  • What happens in a consult?

    I come to your home and we discuss your breastfeeding goals. We will talk about your birth story and what lactation concerns you have now. I will observe a breastfeeding session and offer insights and suggestions for positioning and latching. I can offer suggestions for nipple healing. I can also help troubleshoot pumping/expressing issues and offer education on how to use various lactation products. We will create a plan together to meet your breastfeeding goaIs. If you have questions about how I can help, please use my contact form and I will respond ASAP.

  • What is your goal in lactation support?

    Individually, my goal is to help you reach YOUR breastfeeding and lactation goals. More broadly, I want to help families start life with supportive systems and loving relationships.

  • Do you take insurance?

    As of March 2024, I do not take insurance but hope to at some point. If cost is an issue for you, I offer scholarships for families in need so you can meet with me at no cost to you. I also recommend Ashley Erickson, an IBCLC in our area that does in-home visits and does take insurance.
