Fee Details

My fees are on a sliding scale of $40–$55/hr. Services include newborn care guidance, feeding support (breast, bottle, or combination), household adjustments, and daily tasks like light cleaning, cooking, and meal prep, allowing families to focus on bonding and postpartum recovery. As a PhD student researching postpartum care, I became curious about additional ways to support mothers and doulas. My research explores the vital role postpartum doulas play through interviews, observations, and my own practice. Clients are invited to participate in my study and will receive a $15 gift card per service hour, effectively reducing fees to the lower end of the scale. Your involvement makes doula care more accessible and advances meaningful research.

We had the privilege of working with Jier as our postpartum doula for four weeks following the birth of our first child via C-section, and we can’t overstate how essential her presence was to our recovery, adjustment, and overall well-being during that transformative time.

From the moment Jier stepped into our home, she brought a calm, grounded energy that immediately put us at ease. Navigating the early weeks of parenthood—especially following major surgery—is overwhelming, and Jier intuitively knew how to support us in ways that were both deeply practical and emotionally meaningful. Her presence gave us the space to truly bond with our baby without being consumed by everything else that still needed to happen around us.

She was incredibly thoughtful in how she stepped in—never overstepping, but always anticipating exactly what we needed, often before we even realized it ourselves. Whether it was washing bottles, folding baby laundry, prepping a simple nourishing meal, or gently reminding me to rest, Jier’s help allowed me to focus on healing and learning to care for our newborn without the added pressure of managing a household. She offered guidance without judgment, encouragement without pressure, and support that felt completely personalized to us.

Perhaps most importantly, she helped us build confidence as new parents. She answered our many questions with grace, shared evidence-based practices, and reassured us in those moments when doubt crept in. Watching her care for our little one with such tenderness and skill gave us both peace of mind and practical tools we continue to use today.

Jier was not just a postpartum doula—she was an anchor for our family in those early, fragile weeks. We are endlessly grateful for her presence and wholeheartedly recommend her to any new parent in need of compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly holistic support.
