Meet Meredith!
They are one of our incredible birth doulas, doing this heart work for 5 years, and regularly goes above and beyond for our families! We want you to feel connected to our team of doulas so we thought we’d ask them a little more about their journey in birthwork. And here is what they said!
“Several colliding interests and experiences brought me into this incredible work. My nerdy interest in anatomy and physiology, combined with a passion for making systems-level changes for families and pregnant people, were probably the biggest. But it’s often witnessing the growth in the families I work with that has kept me grounded and so passionate about it over the years. I believe that every birth is a unique and powerful experience!”
If you’ve worked with Meredith, show them some love in the comments below! 👇 💛

Grieving a miscarriage is an incredibly tender and sacred experience. As someone offering support, your role is to be present with empathy and respect during this deeply personal season of healing.
Here are some ways to offer meaningful support:
💛 Acknowledge their baby and journey. Ask about their pregnancy, if they want to share, and honor their connection to their baby.
💛 Listen without expectations. Be there to hold space for their grief — through conversation or quiet presence. Avoid giving advice; there’s no “how-to” for healing after loss.
💛 Validate their experience. Recognize their role as parents and the depth of their loss. Never minimize or downplay their emotions.
💛 Offer practical help. Lighten their load by assisting with tasks so they can rest and focus on healing.
Your presence, patience, and understanding can provide the comfort they need during this difficult time.

Postpartum support isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s tailored to what your family needs most.
Here’s what our daytime postpartum support looks like:
🌿 Personalized Care:
We take the time to truly get to know you, listening to your story, answering your questions, and offering evidence-based guidance to help you feel confident about caring for your baby, even when we're not there.
🌿 Home Help:
From meal prep and light housework to big sibling and infant care, we help take care of the daily necessities so you can focus on recovery and bonding with your baby.
🌿 Feeding, Physical And Emotional Support:
We’re here for early breast/chest-feeding or bottle-feeding guidance and positioning help. We also provide emotional support as you begin your physical and emotional recovery from birth. And glorious naps so you can catch up on your sleep!
🌿 Flexible Scheduling:
Daytime shifts are a 4-hour minimum. Whether it’s ongoing care over weeks or months, or a one-time shift to fill gaps between visits from friends and family, we’ll support you in the way that works best for your family.
Need some extra support? Let’s chat about how we can help during this transformative time.
