What kinds of support are you looking for?

Postpartum doulas provide postpartum services tailored to the needs of each family. I set aside time for a free initial consultation with every client to make sure that what the family wants and the services I can provide match. The services are available in both Japanese and English.

* A mileage fee of 75¢ per mile applies for travel beyond 20 miles.

Prep Session

Birth & Postpartum in the U.S.A.
Preparation Session

This is a relaxed, roughly 2-hour online session focused on childbirth and postpartum care in the U.S.A.. If you are expecting parents coming from different countries and/or cultures, we’ll cover key topics to help prepare you for this special time. I’m happy to adjust the content to meet the unique needs of your family—whether that’s a Cesarean section, caring for older children, or planning for mom’s return to work. Tailored postpartum planning is also included to ensure you're feeling supported every step of the way. I highly recommend attending as a couple although it is not required. Please keep in mind that the session might run a bit longer than 2 hours if we have a lot of questions to cover. I’m here to help you feel ready and confident for this next chapter!

Daytime Support

Daytime Postpartum Support

Daytime Hourly Rate: $40/60 minutes*

*A minimum of 8 consecutive hours per visit

*Travel beyond 20 miles will incur an additional fee of 75¢ per mile

What’s Included in Daytime Support

Every family is unique, and I’m here to offer support that’s thoughtfully tailored to your specific needs. Common areas of support include:

Infant care – diaper changes, swaddling, soothing, cuddling, and watching baby while you rest
 Postpartum care for mothers – emotional support, physical recovery assistance, and someone to simply be there to listen
 Lactation counseling and gentle feeding support
 Light household tasks – laundry, dishes, sanitizing pump parts and bottles, dusting, vacuuming, and sweeping
 Simple meal prep – you provide or request ingredients, and I’ll cook in your kitchen
 Sibling care – keeping older children engaged and supported
 Pet care – dogs and cats only
 Ongoing support via phone, text, or email
 Specialized care for twins or triplets (rates may vary – please reach out)

Please note: I offer birth-assist support as a medical translator for Japanese families—especially for those who may feel less confident communicating with medical providers at hospitals or birth centers during labor.
However, I do not take birth-assist requests from English-speaking clients, as I am not a certified birth doula or midwife. Thank you for your understanding.
