Quinn Doula Services
postpartum DOULA SERVICES
My postpartum services are best suited for individuals looking to fully lean into their rest, body/mind re-calibration and maiden to mother journey. The Fourth Trimester requires radical surrender with an openness to receive support and I am happy to provide that.
Each shift can follow an agenda: preparation of herbal sitz bath, herbal foot soak, followed by relaxing body work with aromatherapy, belly binding and a postpartum snack prep. Time left over will be spent tending to household needs, watching over the newborn, or demonstrating any how-tos.
I have decades worth of newborn care experience and appreciate collaborating with new parents on responding to the newborn with attachment "high touch, low tech" style care.
Postpartum services start at $40/ hr with 2-6 week contract options. We will meet several times a week.
