Postpartum Care
Loving, hands-on care through the fourth trimester. Since 2020, I have been supporting new families through those tender, intense first weeks and months, and I know how much it matters to have the right person in your corner. Postpartum support looks different for every family. A visit might mean holding the baby while you sleep, cooking a nourishing meal, helping you navigate a feeding challenge, or simply sitting with you while you find your words. It is practical, emotional, and always led by what you need most that day. I offer single visits and discounted packages.

FAQ’s
Which areas do you cover in Dublin?
I support families across Dublin city and North County Dublin, including Malahide, Portmarnock, Howth, Sutton, Swords, Donabate, Clontarf, and surrounding areas. If you live slightly outside these areas, feel free to reach out during a free discovery call to see if we can make it work.
What exactly does a postpartum doula do during a visit?
Every home visit is customized to what you need most in that exact moment. Typical support includes:
Nourishing Meal Prep: Cooking hearty soups, warm post-birth meals (like my signature bolognese), and wholesome snacks.
Parent Recovery & Rest: Watching your baby so you can take a long shower, nap, or simply enjoy hands-free time.
Practical Newborn Care & Guidance: Hands-on guidance with infant feeding, soothing techniques, swaddling, bathing, and babywearing.
Emotional Support: Providing a calm, judgment-free space to debrief your birth story and chat through the early parenting shift.
Do you offer night doula support for early newborn sleep?
Yes. Night support is designed to protect your sleep during those exhausting early weeks. I handle overnight soothing, nappy changes, and baby care, bringing baby to you only for feeds if you're breastfeeding so you wake up feeling rested and supported.
I already have family nearby. Do I still need a postpartum doula?
Extended family is wonderful, but a doula brings a unique combination of professional newborn experience and unbiased care focused entirely on you. I step in without bringing unsolicited advice, taking care of household tasks, meals, and baby care so family members can simply visit and enjoy the new baby.
