Postpartum doula support in Portland for whole-body recovery

Postpartum doula support includes practical and emotional care during the early weeks after birth. Visits may include newborn care guidance, feeding support, light household tasks related to baby care, and support for your physical and emotional recovery.

All Full Milk Moon packages also include craniosacral therapy and lactation counseling support, offering a whole-body approach to postpartum healing and feeding.

Full Milk Moon offers integrated postpartum care that includes postpartum doula support, craniosacral therapy, and certified lactation counseling. This allows feeding challenges, physical recovery, and nervous system regulation to be supported together instead of separately.

Many families find that having one consistent provider creates a more grounded and cohesive postpartum experience.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the nervous system and soft tissues of the body. For postpartum parents, it can support recovery, relaxation, and regulation. For babies, it can help ease tension patterns that may affect comfort and feeding.

Craniosacral therapy sessions are included in every package and may be used for the parent, the baby, or both.

Yes. As a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), I provide feeding support as part of every package.

This can include:

• Latch and positioning support

• Bottle feeding guidance

• Pumping support

• Feeding rhythm and troubleshooting

• Transitioning between breast and bottle

• Return-to-work feeding plans

Lactation counseling is supportive and educational and does not replace medical care from an IBCLC or healthcare provider when needed.

Most families benefit from between 40 and 80 hours of support spread over the first 6 to 12 weeks postpartum.

Families who want help primarily with feeding and early recovery often choose the New Moon package, while families wanting steady support through the fourth trimester often choose Waxing Moon or Full Moon.

If you're unsure, we can talk through what would feel most supportive for your family.

Most families book during the second or third trimester. Scheduling before your baby arrives helps ensure availability and allows time for prenatal planning.

Prenatal planning sessions are scheduled before your baby arrives.

Services are available throughout the Portland area.

Yes. Sessions can be used for the parent, the baby, or shared between both depending on your needs.

Some families choose to focus on feeding support early on and parent recovery later in the postpartum period.

Household support is focused on helping your home function during the postpartum period and may include:

• Baby laundry

• Bottle and pump washing

• Light kitchen reset

• Simple meal preparation

• Snack preparation

• Keeping feeding areas organized

This is not a cleaning service, but support that helps reduce the load during recovery.

Postpartum doula services are offered as packages to provide consistent, ongoing support during recovery.

Standalone craniosacral therapy sessions may be available separately.
