A person who provides emotional and physical support to new parents during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. Traditionally, women have supported one another during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum throughout history. Our culture often lacks this organic foundation, so a doula does their best to pick up where our society has left off.

As the leader of our Postpartum Parent Groups, Hilary will guide you and other parents with babies of similar age through your questions, concerns and joys of having a new baby
We talk about things like newborn characteristics, soothing and engaging with your baby, baby wearing, newborn sleep, breast and bottle feeding, pumping, returning to work, and support. Sometimes we just hang out and connect! This is a safe space to meet other parents, make connections, share ups and downs, learn about your baby, and ask ANYTHING. These are offered in 7-week cohorts for parents with babies from about 0-5 months. Second+ time parents are welcome too! This is not just a mom's group, ALL parents are invited!
We offer opportunities for parents to get out of the house with baby, meet other parents, make adorable art, learn special skills like CPR and infant massage and so much more.
Join us as your journey along in postpartum and early infant parenting. We'll make art, gifts and keepsakes by paining baby's precious feet, we'll learn lifesaving skills like CPR, we'll practice infant massage together and so much more. Don't go it alone - let us help you to build your village. We've got your new family needs covered!
