Relevant volunteer or advocacy work: I co-founded Rhode Island New Moms Connection (www.rinewmomscom). We facilitate pregnancy and new mom support groups throughout the state. I support all women with all parenting approaches. I am trained to support nursing moms (and have nursed 3 babies myself!). I am qualified to offer emotional support - and provide an open, nonjudgmental space for meaningful conversations - and I will help with light housework, infant care, snack/meal preparation, etc. I feel new mom support is crucial in early weeks!
Postpartum doula hourly rate: $20 to $35 Fee details: I offer reduced rates for those in need.
