We are there to assess and meet the needs of your family, your journey. We want you to feel empowered; to know that you have what you need to thrive. Through our work, we aim to facilitate a positive experience in transition to life with your new baby. We support our clients at every turn with unbiased, evidence-based information.
And unlike many other doula care providers, our doulas are specifically assigned to you for the duration of your care plan, so you are never surprised with who you welcome into your intimate spaces.
If any of your needs are beyond our scope of practice, we provide you with resources and referrals to get them addressed.
A $30/visit travel surcharge is added for visits beyond 15 miles from the South Minneapolis Blooma studio location.
Care is customized to the priority goals of each shift, between 9am-9pm (3 hour minimum). 5% discount on 200+ hours.
At Blooma, you’ll have a primary doula specifically assigned to you for the duration of your care plan, so you aren’t surprised with who you welcome into your intimate space.* And you won’t have to explain things more than once.
*Exceptions are made for larger care packages (e.g. your primary doula cannot handle a large volume of shifts over a short time period), illness, unpredictable birth doula attendance conflicts, and other unpredictable issues.
We know that there is a lot of vulnerability in the fourth trimester and when you welcome people into your home, and we want you to develop a relationship with your support team. Because of this, you will work with one primary doula. Depending on the hours needed, another doula may be added to provide the full, comprehensive support you are looking for. Beyond your primary doula, we have a full team ready to jump in for support in case your doula is sick, has an unexpected schedule change, or you find yourself wanting additional days of support.
As often as you feel you need support! We tend to see families looking for more support immediately postpartum, tapering support as time goes on. An example of a typical daytime schedule is: three to four 4-hour shifts per week for the first 4 weeks, two to three 4-hour shifts per week for the next 4 weeks, and then continued shifts as needed for your fourth trimester and beyond.
Postpartum doulas typically support families during the first 12 weeks postpartum; a time often known as the “fourth trimester.” We also know that postpartum journeys can be very unique, so we are flexible in our timing.
Our service area includes the entire Minneapolis & Saint Paul metro area. A travel fee is added for clients farther than 15 miles from our studio location in South Minneapolis. If you’re unsure if we can support you, please ask about it in your consultation, send us a message or call for confirmation.
Babies arrive on their own schedule. We keep a window of time open near your guess date to start our visits, based on your needs and comfort level.
