Birth, postpartum & newborn care
What does a birth doula do?
I offer emotional, physical, and informational support before and during labor and birth. I am a non-clinical support person; your medical care remains with your chosen provider.
Can I have a hospital birth or an epidural and still work with you?
Yes. I support families planning a hospital, home, or birth-center birth, with or without an epidural. My role is to support your choices without judgment.
What if my birth plans change?
I will continue to support you as your preferences or circumstances change. We can talk during pregnancy about the kinds of support that help you feel informed and cared for.
Will you take my partner’s place?
No. I support you and help your partner feel more prepared to participate, especially when neither of you has done this before.
Can I hire you for postpartum care only?
Yes. You can contact me about daytime or overnight postpartum and newborn care even if I did not attend your birth.
What can postpartum support include?
Support can include newborn care while you rest, feeding and latch guidance, baby laundry, pump and bottle sterilizing, meal prep, and parent education. We can discuss what you need.
What do the birth packages cost?
The current published totals are $3,500 for Essential, $4,500 for Premium, and $8,000 for Deluxe Birth & Postpartum. Visit the pricing page for what each includes and payment details.
How much does postpartum care cost?
Postpartum care is $70 per hour with an eight-session minimum. You can combine daytime and overnight hours; we can talk through the schedule and total you have in mind.
What happens in the free consultation?
It is a free 30-minute conversation by phone, FaceTime, or in person. We can talk about your needs and whether working together feels like a fit.
How do I get started?
Send a short consultation request. Teesee will follow up to arrange a time; the request does not reserve a date or confirm availability.
Still deciding what support you need?
That’s a good place to start a conversation.
