Postpartum limits/restrictions: As your postpartum doula, my goal is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support to help your family thrive. However, there are a few areas where I set boundaries to ensure your safety and well-being, as well as my ability to provide the highest quality care: 1. Medical Advice or Diagnosis: While I am knowledgeable about newborn care and postpartum recovery, I am not a medical professional. I can offer evidence-based information and suggest when to consult your doctor, midwife, or pediatrician for medical concerns. 2. Heavy Housework or Childcare: My focus is on providing light household support, such as tidying common areas, preparing simple meals, and assisting with newborn care. Tasks like deep cleaning, laundry for the entire household, or full-time babysitting fall outside my scope. 3. Overnight Stays (if applicable): If overnight support is not offered in my practice, I would clarify this upfront. Instead, I provide guidance to help families establish restful nighttime routines. 4. Extended Services Beyond the Postpartum Period: My role is to support families during the postpartum phase, typically the first few months after birth. For ongoing childcare or long-term household help, I can provide referrals to trusted resources. 5. Availability: My availability is flexible, but I work within set hours to maintain my own balance and well-being. I’ll always communicate my schedule clearly so we can plan accordingly

Five Stars!

I cannot recommend Crystal enough for her incredible doula services! From the very beginning, she provided unwavering support, knowledge, and reassurance, making the entire birthing experience so much more empowering and peaceful.

Crystal has a calming presence and a deep understanding of both the emotional and physical aspects of labor and postpartum care. She took the time to truly listen to my needs, advocate for my preferences, and ensure that I felt confident every step of the way. Her hands-on techniques, words of encouragement, and expert guidance made all the difference during labor.

Beyond the birth, Crystal continued to be an invaluable source of support, offering helpful advice and compassionate care as I transitioned into postpartum life. She truly goes above and beyond for the families she works with, and I am so grateful to have had her by my side during such a life-changing moment.

If you are looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated to making your birthing experience as smooth and positive as possible, Crystal is the perfect choice!
