Perinatal & Postpartum
Education & Support Services
Insurance-Eligible Doula Support
These visits are designed to provide gentle, evidence-informed education and emotional support during pregnancy and the early postpartum period. Unlike private doula care, these insurance-eligible visits are typically shorter (often one to three hours) and may be limited in number depending on your coverage.
​​
During our time together, I offer calm guidance around newborn care, feeding expectations, sleep rhythms, and what to expect emotionally and physically after birth. Families also receive simple teaching tools — such as visual guides on wake windows, feeding frequency, milestones like returning to birth weight, and other newborn basics — so you feel supported long after our visit ends.
​​
I also hold space for your questions, check in on your well-being, and help connect you with additional community and mental-health resources when needed. My goal is for you to feel seen, supported, and never alone as you begin this new chapter.
​
These visits may be available at no cost to eligible Medi-Cal patients through participating programs.
