Your fourth trimester

Real help, in the ways you need it.

Sometimes support means talking through a feeding question. Sometimes it means eating a warm meal, having a shower, or resting while someone you trust cares for your baby. I look for what would make your day easier and help you find your own rhythm.

I bring more than ten years of postpartum experience, beginning in Paris and continuing in Los Angeles and Orange County. I support first-time parents and growing families, including families welcoming a baby through adoption or surrogacy.

Daytime support shaped around you.

Daytime visits create breathing room for recovery, meals, baby care, and practical guidance. Some families book a few visits; others prefer ongoing support through the first weeks. We will discuss your location, priorities, and schedule before choosing a package.

Questions about postpartum care.

Do I need to book while I’m pregnant?

You can plan ahead during pregnancy or reach out after your baby arrives. We will discuss current availability and what would help most.

Is postpartum care only for first-time parents?

No. Each new baby changes family life. Support can be helpful whether this is your first baby or you already have children.

Will you help even if I’m not breastfeeding?

Yes. I support your feeding decisions and help with the practical care that fits your family.

What areas do you serve?

I travel from Lake Forest to families across Orange County, including Irvine, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo, and nearby communities. Travel arrangements are confirmed before booking.
