Welcome! I’m so glad you stopped by

I offer daytime postpartum support in the first days, weeks, and months after birth. Let me help you welcome this new little life into your world, and help you settle in together. I can also meet with you before birth to help you best prepare for parenthood and the postpartum period— both the logistical aspects of figuring out baby gear or how to plan for infant sleep, and also the often complicated emotional components of preparing for this monumental life transition!

Everyone deserves care and support after giving birth. If paying the full rate would be a hardship for you, please reach out to ask about my sliding scale model.

Testimonials

“I have known Marcy for over a decade and can enthusiastically recommend her as a postpartum doula. Marcy is one of the most patient, gentle and non-judgmental people I have met, and carries that gentle energy into her work with new parents. Becoming a parent, whether for the first time or with subsequent children, is an incredible experience, and one that can feel overwhelming, intense and uncertain. Having Marcy tending to your post-partum needs provides a sense of comfort and supportive guidance. It is a wonderful gift to give yourself to work with Marcy during this tender stage of parenting.”

  • Clarissa H

“Marcy was super helpful with my infant and supported us both while he was dealing with a lot of pain from reflux. She was kind & took on any task I needed help with. It was a very challenging time & having her to help made such a difference.”

  • Renee W

“Marcy was kind, reliable, and gentle with our baby. She was always respectful of our preferences and followed our instructions, which we appreciated as first-time parents.

She was punctual, easy to communicate with, and professional throughout. We especially appreciated that she proactively let us know when someone in her household was sick so we could make an informed decision about scheduling.

We're thankful for her support during those early newborn weeks!”
