Have questions but don’t think you want services?

Wombly’s Q&A sessions might be a better fit for you.

  • Postpartum is forever. That being said, most people consider the postpartum period to be the first 6-8 weeks after birth.

  • Yes. For an overnight rate, Wombly offers care to newborns after 8pm.

  • Should you feel that you need more care than what your package offers you, you may upgrade at any time. However, we are firm on our boundary of sticking to the times of our scheduled sessions. Because doulas are constantly pouring into others, it’s important that there is a mutual respect for each other’s time and expectations. There is also a high chance that multiple clients are booked for services on the same day, so sticking to your allotted time slot is imperative.

  • Wombly is here to hold space, listen, and remind you that you’re not alone. Whether it’s helping you find small moments of rest, offering resources, or just being a steady, judgment-free presence, I’ll support you in whatever way feels right. We’ll move through it together.

  • Postpartum is a sacred window of healing, adjustment, and deep transformation. We believe in slow, intentional care- nourishing the body, tending to the emotions, and holding space for whatever unfolds. Whether that means offering hands-on support, gentle guidance, or simply sitting with you in the quiet moments, my role is to honor your journey and help you feel held as you step into this new chapter.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) or postpartum anxiety (PPA), please seek help immediately. These conditions are common and treatable, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
