SJ Doi

Hi I’m SJ (she/her), a Chicago-based full spectrum doula and lactation counselor, committed to providing support that is:

  • compassionate

  • evidence-based

  • trauma informed

  • culturally responsive

  • LGBTQ+ affirming

  • Everyone deserves to have a strong support system as they transition into the postpartum period.

HOW I OFFER SUPPORT

  • Postpartum Healing

    You come first. Whether you have a vaginal or cesarean birth, I holistically support your recovery throughout the early postpartum period. Some offerings include meal prep, holistic care treatments, belly binding, and light housework.

  • Newborn Care & Lactation

    As a postpartum doula and lactation counselor, I can help with common new parent concerns related to infant sleep, feeding, and fussiness. I unconditionally respect your infant feeding choices and provide expert support on your feeding journey.

  • Prenatal + Birth Support

    Postpartum preparation begins prenatally. Working with a full-spectrum doula for your pregnancy and birth means we’ll begin talking about postpartum goals and preparation at the very first visit, to ensure you’re set up for success.
