Personalized Postpartum Education and Doula Support

in Plano, Texas + surrounding areas

Think of me as your supportive sister who also happens to know all about newborn care, basic lactation troubleshooting, and how to support your physical and mental healing after birth.

✨ If that means you have a list of questions and want to learn how to better care for your newborn, I’m there.

✨ If that means watching or holding your baby while you take a shower or nap, consider it done.

✨ If that means washing bottles or folding the never-ending baby laundry while we chat, I’m already on it.

✨ If that means being your extra set of hands while you run to the pediatrician’s office or pick up your other kids from school, count me in.

✨ If that means talking about your birth story and helping to process it, I’d be honored.

my goal is to take care of you

questions + answers

  • Support looks different from mother to mother, depending on what the rest of her village looks like.

    My postpartum care can help:

    • New parents by giving knowledge of postpartum changes (and directing to help if any red flags arise), instilling confidence in newborn feeding, arranging time to rest and recover post birth, and providing assistance creating new routines.

    • Infants by educating and assisting with newborn sleep, offering feeding support (breast, bottle, or both), and teaching any other “baby things” you may have questions about.

    • Around the home by washing baby bottles and pump parts, folding baby’s laundry, helping run errands, or planning and preparing meals.

    • General education by troubleshooting issues as they arise, sharing my network of referrals if desired, recognizing normal vs abnormal situations, recommending products,

    • And more!

  • It’s never too early or too late - I’ve had mothers in their first trimester book me and mothers who already had their babies.

    The earlier you connect with me, the more we’ll get to know each other. I’d love to chat to see if we’d be a good fit! Fill out this form, email me at kristina@waymakerbirthwork.com, or DM me on instagram @waymakerbirthwork.

  • I’ve worked with various insurance benefits (such as Carrot Fertility) that help cover the cost of a postpartum doula, so make sure to ask your insurance to see what benefits your plan includes.

    Ask me how you can also add my services to your baby registry and crowdfund the help.

    (PS: Even if your insurance doesn’t cover a postpartum doula, they may cover in person lactation support or a breast pump or two and enough replacement parts for the first year - and that’s still a win for you!)
