Unlike a nanny or a newborn care specialist (NCS), a postpartum doula’s focus is on you as much as your baby after they are born—because your well-being is essential, not optional. It’s non-judgmental care for your whole self —body, mind, and spirit— to help you recover and adjust to your new rhythm.

Yes—I offer support across many seasons, not just postpartum. My services range from prenatal nesting sessions, to meal service, to health coaching. Many clients work with me for fertility support. Please check out my services for a full list of offerings!

I also support birthing people who are not parents (adoption and surrogates) and non-birthing parents / caregivers who want to feel more grounded and resourced.

I’m based in Minneapolis, MN, and currently serve clients in the Twin Cities area (+ clients outside of the metro area on a case-by-case basis— just reach out to ask). Short term out-of-state contracts may also be possible.

Some services are available virtually (like health coaching and custom ceremony planning).

I’m a certified birth doula and occasionally take on birth clients. If you're interested in labor support, reach out here to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Nope, you don’t need to have it all mapped out. I offer flexible tiers, service bundles, and custom care—so whether you know exactly what you want or you’re still exploring, we’ll figure it out together. Start with a free consult and we’ll go from there.

Your free consult is relaxed, pressure-free, and led by your questions. We’ll chat about what kind of support you’re looking for, what’s going on in your current season, and how my services might meet you there.

I do offer virtual consults for convenience, but I strongly prefer meeting in person when possible—there’s something special about being able to sit across from each other and really feel into the connection. In-person consults are held at MotherBaby Wellness Co. in Hopkins, MN or alternatively at a local cafe.

Whether you’re ready to dive in or just feeling curious, you’re welcome to reach out. Click here to schedule your consult.

During overnight shifts, my goal is to create a calm, restful environment for both you and your baby. After completing a few light chores at the start of the night, I settle in on a resting surface nearby to monitor baby and respond as needed.

I catnap while baby sleeps so that I can stay well-regulated and fully present during wakeful stretches. This allows me to be most helpful and alert when baby needs feeding, changing, or soothing.

All of this is outlined clearly in my contract so you know exactly what to expect. Explore my Postpartum Services for more.

Yes! I offer several bundle-and-save options via my custom care tier— the more support you book, the more you save.

If you’re interested in stacking different offerings or creating a custom plan, I’d love to chat. Contact me to inquire and schedule a complimentary consult so we can build a care plan that fits your needs, your season, and your budget.

Doula services aren’t always covered by insurance, but in some cases, clients have been reimbursed through HSA, FSA, or health insurance. While I’m not currently set up to bill insurance directly, I’m happy to provide detailed invoices and any supporting documentation you may need for reimbursement.

If you’re hoping to use insurance or HSA/FSA funds, I recommend calling your provider in advance to ask what’s required. And of course—let me know what you need from me along the way.

Even with a supportive partner or family, a doula offers something different. I bring specialized training in perinatal health, evidence-based care, and emotional support—plus resources and tools your loved ones may not have.

Research shows that postpartum doula care is linked to lower rates of postpartum depression, higher breastfeeding success, and greater confidence in new parents (JOGNN, 2013).

It’s not about replacing your support system—it’s about strengthening it.

Absolutely. I’m here to support both of you. A doula doesn’t replace your partner—they help your partner feel more confident, rested, and supported, too.

With a doula in the mix, partners can ask questions, take breaks, and be present without the pressure of doing it all. This is care for the whole family—because when everyone feels supported, everyone thrives.

The Folk Doula is rooted in the belief that care is a human right—not a luxury, not a transaction, not one-size-fits-all.
I actively strive to create a practice that is inclusive, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and shaped by ongoing learning. I honor the traditions of care that exist in every culture and resist the co-opting of wisdom without credit.

This space welcomes people of all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, body sizes, religions, income levels, and abilities.

I am committed to unlearning internalized bias, amplifying marginalized voices, and holding myself accountable to the values I speak. Folk care is by the people, for the people. No exceptions.
