Postpartum and Birth Support

for Everyone

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I am so glad you are here. I am a postpartum and birth doula with three little kids of my own. After the birth of my second, I struggled with postpartum anxiety. This took me by surprise but also led me to where I am today. It made me realize I wanted to help moms and all parents through this insanely hard phase of life. My goal is to make your postpartum time as calm and simple as it can be. I am here to help you transition into life with a new member, physically and emotionally. We were not made to go through the postpartum time alone and now you don’t have to!

I added a birth doula certification to my expertise because of my deep love for birth. As crazy as it sounds, I would give birth again and again if I could. I am so excited to help guide you through labor and make it a wonderfully positive experience for you, whatever that means! Birth is not a one size fits all model. It will look different for each of us. I am here to make it the birth YOU are looking for.

So what do doulas do anyways?

As your postpartum doula, there is so much I will be doing. I offer assistance with recovery after birth, infant feeding tips, newborn care, infant sleep support, coping skills for new parents, light housework, meal prep, older sibling integration, errands, care for date nights and more. Every day looks a little different and is based off of individual needs of the family. Babies can be unpredictable which is why my help for you stays fluid and flexible!

As your birth doula, I am here to make your birth a positive experience first and foremost. I am your physical, mental and emotional support person. Towards the end of pregnancy we will start communicating more and more. But of course, the main portion of my support will come when you go into labor. I am able to guide you through an unmedicated or medicated birth and even provide c-section support if needed. I help guide women through labor with techniques such as optimal positioning, counter pressure, and massage. I am also there to provide support and guidance to your partner in a time that can be equally as overwhelming to them. And of course, help support you in making your voice heard during birth. It is your birth to give after all!

My goal is to provide parents with compassionate support and education during birth and the postpartum time.

Ways We Can Work Together

Virtual Support

Text support during your postpartum time is a great option for additional help on days we are not together.

Postpartum Support

This is where the majority of my time will be spent during postpartum. I will be in your home helping you and baby with just about anything and everything!

Birth Support

During pregnancy, we will meet to really hone in on your birth preferences. We will go over how I will support you in labor. I will come to your birth whenever you say you want my support! We can start at home or I can meet you at your birthing location. In your labor, I will be your biggest cheerleader and wing woman. I will help you advocate for yourself and get your voice heard. I will stay after your beautiful baby is born for 1-2 hours. Help during the golden hour and first feedings can be given. I can also take pictures during labor and after if you wish.
