About Ilithyia Village
My name is Michaela and I look forward to being your village! After nannying for 8 years and working with families who were transitioning from the fourth trimester back into the workforce, I found my passion of supporting families during that fourth trimester. So much transition happens in such a short amount of time that it can go by in a blur, but I want to use that time to set you up for success in the years to come.
As a postpartum doula, I provide support for families after the birth or adoption of their baby. I help parents integrate their new family member, support them through recovering from birth, and keep the household tasks under control in the first months after birth.
Our Services
Postpartum Support
My goal is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support to new parents as they navigate the early stages of parenthood. While this transition is one of the most joyful in life, it can affect each family member in unexpected ways. I can help navigate those changes and find a new normal for you and your family.
Breastfeeding Support
I offer basic lactation support to assist parents with breastfeeding challenges and provide guidance for a successful breastfeeding journey. If we can’t figure it out together, we can find the right lactation consultant for your needs.
Recovery Assistance
Overnight help is one of the most popular requests for postpartum care. Having a doula come at night can help you get the rest you need to be your best self for the upcoming day. Night care works for bottle fed and breastfed babies.
