Wolfpack Perinatal Care

Why did you become a doula?

After having my own kids, I absolutely knew how transformational extra help was for my physical and mental health. I routinely offered my friends and neighbors extra help with their new babies, even flying out-of-state to help a dear friend with her two-month-old while her partner was away. In July 2023, I began my formal training as a doula and have been serving families since.

What are your rates?

My standard rates are $45 for daytime hours (6:00 am – 7:59 pm) and $65 for nighttime hours (8:00 pm – 5:59 am).

Do you offer a sliding scale?

Yes! I offer sliding scale rates for single parents, public school teachers, and families within 1 mile of my home.

How long do you work with families?

Typically I work with families through the “fourth trimester” which is 12 weeks after birth, or bringing a baby home from adoption. My goal is to work with families until they feel confident in their transition, and are ready to parent daily with minimal questions or requests.

What hours are you available?

Because I have my own kiddos and their school schedule, I am available during Seattle Public School hours (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri 8:30 am – 2:00 pm; Wed 8:30 am – 12:30 pm), in the evenings, and weekends.

I only offer night support every 3 weeks, in order to maintain my own and my family’s well-being. If you want more sleep support, I have wonderful local doulas to recommend to you!

What does a typical schedule look like?

Every family’s needs differ pretty significantly. My most common requests are for:

• Full transition support: Meet the family at home on the first day back from the hospital and work anywhere from 6-15 hours each week for 12 weeks.
• Transition back to work: One spouse/partner is heading back to work and the parent staying home wants daily weekday support for 4 hours for 2-3 weeks.
• Just a little help: A family needs 4-8 hours of help each week, often in the evenings when babies can be a bit more fussy.
