  • to families far from their loved ones or newly arrived in Montreal;

Step by step

What does a postnatal home support visit look like?

1

A free intro call

We get to know each other and talk through your needs, your daily life and what you're hoping for. No commitment — this is simply a chance to see if we click.

2

Your doula comes to you

No logistics on your end: your birth companion comes to your home, anywhere on the island of Montreal and across the greater region. You stay right in your own cocoon.

3

During the visit

Rocking and watching over your baby while you sleep, answering your questions about baby care and breastfeeding, taking a few everyday chores off your plate and offering a reassuring presence. You catch your breath; we'll handle the rest.

4

A session shaped around your needs

Every visit adapts to your pace and to what you need that day — rest, support, a listening ear or a practical hand.

Your questions about postpartum home support

Up to what age can my baby receive postnatal home support?

Postpartum home support is available throughout your child's first year of your child, offering tailored support to each stage of this one-of-a-kind time.

When should postpartum home support start?

Earlier is often better: many families start as soon as you get home. But there's no wrong time — some families call on us a few weeks later, once fatigue sets in or family and friends head home. We work at your pace.
