POSTPARTUM DOULA

Q: What kind of shifts do you offer?

Day shifts are 3 or 4 hours in the afternoon. Overnight shifts are 8 or 10 hours: 8pm-6am or 10pm-6am

Q: Do I need to book in advance or can I wait until I've given birth?

I recommend booking services in advance as availability books out quickly and I can't guarantee that I'll be available without a contract for your booking!

Q: Do you require a deposit?

Yes, all postpartum bookings require either a $500 or $1,000 deposit, depending on the size of your booking, and the remaining balance is due at the time of initiating services.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of shifts do you offer?

Do I need to book in advance or can I wait until I've given birth?

Do you require a deposit?

If I plan to exclusively breastfeed or body feed, and I'll still be waking to do so, are overnight shifts worth it?

Yes! Many express that they are still able to achieve longer and more restful stretches of sleep between feeding sessions due to the ability to hand baby off and go immediately back to sleep without needing to do the diapers, swaddling, and soothing between feedings! Most breastfeeding parents also benefit from trouble shooting and addressing questions or concerns at a 2am feed! Want to know more about what your postpartum support could look like?

"Following up with Nori postpartum was like talking to my best friend -- she made my husband and I feel so comforted and loved, especially in those vulnerable moments. The support from Nori didn’t end after birth; she continued to provide resources and suggestions as they came up and always did so with love and understanding. Having Nori by my side, literally and metaphorically, was the absolute best decision I could have made for myself and my baby"

- Marie

"Following the birth, Nori worked with me on postpartum care. This included overnight stays as well as care for my daughter during the day. From the moment that she was born, my daughter has taken to Nori (I call Nori the baby whisperer). She is immediately calmed in her presence. Nori has helped me with sleep training, nursing, and care in so many aspects of the newborn life. Nori has also helped me with my own physical recovery with suggestions of excellent resources for physical and mental health support. I am so grateful for Nori’s presence in our lives."

- Michelle

"Nori’s presence during the delivery gave us so much confidence. She created the peaceful experience we needed. Throughout the postpartum care, she was there to support us and make sure we didn’t have to worry about the little things which made everything so much more enjoyable. Nori taught us everything we needed to know as first time parents to a newborn and we are forever grateful to have had Nori on our baby’s side. Her dedication to her profession is truly inspiring. Nori is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. I’m not sure we could have made it through the first couple weeks with out her. We can’t wait to work together again for the next baby!"
