We love helping families sleep! It’s critical in helping mama heal from pregnancy and birth, and the supporting family around them need their zzz’s too. Our care is typically provided in 10 hour shifts. During a night shift our goal is the family to sleep soundly and heal. During that time, we will tidy up from the day, tend to baby (whether mama is breastfeeding or not - we will work with what’s best for your family), and ideally prep a hot breakfast for the family to wake up with.
We can discuss specifics of shifts in our consult and at the start of each shift.

Interested in Ayurveda? We can set up a special learning session where our doulas will share with you how to take care of yourself and baby naturally during this transformative time. This can be done pre or post birth, and provide you with greater knowledge and comfort. Learn these ancient tools to help you and your baby bond, heal, and find optimal health.
What People Are Saying
“I really can't say enough about what a blessing having Elizabeth was for our family. I am a healthy and happy, exclusively breastfeeding working mom of two. Something I couldn't really imagine happening for me before and much of it is because of Elizabeth's time and care during our most vulnerable and precious time.”
— N
“I cannot possibly imagine having such a beautiful first birth without Elizabeth by our side. Not only during our birthing time, but before and after and still to this day 6 months later! She is the epitome of what a birth worker should be- compassionate, educated, experienced and grounded. She truly cares about her community and mama's in general. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty for us and has become like family..”
— Jess
“Afterward when I was a total wreck (blubbering and incoherent most of the time, lol) she was the one who came in like a strong, steady pair of hands to pat me on my back and gently shove me back into reality. I can look back on this time now fondly because it was temporary, but it was Elizabeth who made all of the difference in that moment..”
— Katie
