If you are feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or just need some extra help from someone who gets it, this support is for you. My clients usually choose to work with me becasue they want someone in their corner who can handle the physical, emotional, and relational complexities of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum without flinching. Whether you have a massive support system or none at all, having dedicated care ensures you don’t have to ignore your own body and identity while showing up for your baby.

A night nurse focuses almost exclusively on the infant – feeding, changing, and putting the baby back to sleep so you can rest.

As a postpartum doula, my focus is the recovery and transition of the whole family system. While I also provide full newborn care so you can rest, I’m there to support your somatic recovery, mental health, relationship shifts, and the identity transition happening underneath it all.

Every daytime visit starts with a check-in, we map out what your nervous system and household need that day. A visit might involve troubleshooting a feeding method, holding the baby while you take a long shower, prepping a nourishing meal, or doing nervous system regulation work to ease anxiety and overwhelm. There’s no standard checklist, and every visit shapes itself around you.

An overnight shift is designed for pure rest: I take over baby care entirely through the night so you can have deep sleep, only waking you if you are chest/breastfeeding, and handling everything else so you can wake up feeling more rested. I offer 10 hour overnights (instead of the usual 8) so you can comfortably shift gears, get a full sleep, and start your morning without feeling rushed.

Yes to all of the above. Virtual support is available anywhere in the world. In-person care is available throughout Philadelphia and surrounding areas — South Jersey, Main Line, Delco, Chester County, Bucks County, and beyond. I frequently travel to Florida and can easily arrange care there. Travel throughout the US is available by request.

Building a relationship before your world shifts can bring a lot of grounding to the third trimester and help you prepare emotionally, somatically, and practically for the postpartum period. We can use prenatal sessions to build a support plan, talk through fears, look ahead at relational dynamics, map out your postpartum boundaries, and prepare your nervous system and home for the transition before you are in the thick of it. Starting before the baby arrives means you’re not figuring out what you need once you’re already depleted.

There’s no cutoff on postpartum care. Adjustments of parenthood unfold over a much longer timeline than our culture acknowledges. Whether you are in the immediate, hazy days of week one, several months into your journey, or over a year into parenting and realize you need space to process the transition, you are welcome here.

Yes. Queer- and gender-affirming, poly- and kink-knowledgable, body-liberated, and inclusive care for all relationship structures, identities, and family shapes is the foundation of my practice, not an afterthought. I support LGBTQIA+ families, solo parents, polyamorous and non-traditional relationship structures, lifestyle kinksters, sex workers, and anyone whose life doesn’t map onto the mainstream postpartum narrative. You never have to translate your life, identity, or your family structure to me. I’m already here for it and support you.

Yes. Trauma-informed postpartum care is a core pillar of my practice. If you are navigating the aftermath of a difficult or traumatic birth, dismissive provider, unexpected procedure, frightening complication, or a postpartum experience that feels disconnected or disorienting in your body, my background in somatic work allows me to hold space for that safely. We work at a pace that respects your nervous system and prioritizes emotional safety and body connection, without rushing you to “heal” or gloss over what happened.

Postpartum mood changes, overwhelm, numbness, and anxiety live right at the intersection of emotional care and identity. My care is entirely trauma-informed. I bring somatic and nervous system regulation tools to help you find steadiness through hard moments, and I maintain a curated network of clinical mental health providers if your care requires additional medical or therapeutic support.

Absolutely. Whether you are breastfeeding, chestfeeding, pumping, formula feeding, or combination feeding, your choices are supported without a shred of hierarchy or judgment. I can assist with latching comfort, positioning, bottle feeding logistics, pumping setup, and troubleshooting the emotional and physical hurdles that come with feeding a newborn.

Yes. My care extends to all outcomes of pregnancy, including miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, and infant loss all fall within my scope. Grief and love can sit right next to each other in the body, and navigating the empty space after a loss requires deep, unflinching emotional and somatic support. You deserve care that doesn’t rush you, minimize what happened, feel like toxic positivity, or make you perform okay-ness on anyone else’s timeline. You don’t have to carry that isolation or heavy physical transition by yourself. Reach out directly so we can talk through what support looks like for where you are.

Yes, and they are highly encouraged to be involved. The role changes of parenting affect the whole household. My background is rooted in relational healing and intimacy coaching, so supporting communication dynamics and helping partners navigate their own thresholds alongside you is a natural part of how I work.

Postpartum care can be added directly to your registry through cash-funded platforms like BeHerVillage, Babylist, or similar registries. It’s an amazing way to let your community fund practical and structural support for your recovery, instead of or alongside traditional baby gear. See the full list of registries here.
