Fee Details

I offer overnight support 8-12 hr shifts at an hourly rate. I also offer private or small group, pre or post-natal, newborn care education sessions with a specific focus on my unique soothing techniques and simple approach to baby-led feeding and sleep that help get babies sleeping for longer overnight stretches on average by 1-2 months, some even earlier. Working with families in a small class setting allows me to teach YOU these techniques, which will help the newborn stage go more smoothly and get your baby sleeping through the night sooner! After baby arrives, additional virtual or in-person sessions can be purchased as needed.

We are so glad that we found Erin! As first time parents, we wanted to work with a postpartum doula who was not only there to give us the chance to get some sleep in the early weeks, but also to help guide us through this new chapter. Not only did she provide our daughter with attentive care, but she also spent a lot of time talking with my husband and I about various topics relating to sleep, feeding, and diet in an approachable way that also got us thinking outside the box of the traditional newborn feeding and sleeping "plans."  She was available even on her off nights to answer our many first- time parent questions. She is extremely knowledgable and has great intuition. We highly recommend Erin!

Erin was an incredible guide for us in the first months with baby Callum. Her baby led feeding and sleep approach was great - simple and practical, and it felt like things clicked for us and the baby very quickly. I was amazed how quickly Callum was sleeping long stretches at night. Erin has such a depth of experience, she had tips and tricks that really worked on everything from soothing techniques to diet. Highly recommend!
