Architect your recovery. Restore your peace. Reclaim your power.
Postpartum is not a season to simply "get through". It is a transition that requires a strategic blueprint. In a world defined by a "trust recession" in maternal care, Sweet Bee Services provides the uncompromising excellence you need to navigate the fourth trimester with sovereignty and poise.
The Postpartum Support Bundle is our signature concierge-level toolkit, designed to move your family from reactive stress to proactive restoration. This is the exact framework we use in our real-time doula care to ensure that no parent, whether giving birth or supporting, is left invisible.
A multidisciplinary roadmap for the first year of parenthood. This is your logistical and physiological operations manual, ensuring every detail of your recovery is accounted for.
Physiological Tracking: Dedicated systems for monitoring blood pressure, pain levels, and physical recovery milestones.
Logistical Sovereignty: Comprehensive worksheets for household delegation, newborn care preferences, and meal consistency strategies.
Professional Transition: A high-level framework for navigating the return to work, childcare arrangements, and maintaining your personal identity.
Perinatal wellness is a family-wide priority. We provide three distinct, 25-point checklists tailored for Moms, Dads, and Gender-Neutral Partners.
Trauma-Informed Assessment: Track emotional changes over a rolling two-week window.
Tiered Response System: Our clinically clear "3-6-10" scoring system tells you exactly when to rest, when to talk, and when to seek professional intervention.
Partner Inclusion: Explicitly designed to ensure fathers and partners have the language to advocate for their own mental health.
Clinically Clear & Culturally Competent: Built by a seasoned social worker and educator on a mission to end maternal mortality.
Trauma-Informed: Designed to foster autonomy and reduce the anxiety of the unknown.
Immediate Access: This is a digital download (PDF). Once purchased, the blueprint is yours to print, share with your care team, and implement immediately.
Stop navigating the fourth trimester by guesswork. Invest in the blueprint that prioritizes your full humanity.

The exclusive professional launchpad for successful doulas.
The difference between a "certified doula" and a "successful doula" is how they handle the first 90 days. While other programs leave you to navigate the "post-training void" alone, The Business Bridge™ provides the structure, systems, and clinical oversight needed to turn your training into a lifelong career.
30 days will launch you. 90 days will secure you.
The 90-Day Mastery Roadmap:
Phase 1: The 30-Day Launch (Identity & Systems) Immediately upon completing your foundation, we activate your Business Hub. We audit your previous professional skills through Identity Integration, set up your HIPAA-compliant systems, and match you with your first leads. You leave this phase "Trained to Booked™."
Phase 2: The 60-Day Integration (Skills Development) As you begin supporting clients, our rolling mentorship provides real-time guidance for real-world scenarios. We refine your clinical intuition and application of the Survival Protocol™, ensuring your confidence in the birth room matches your expertise.
Phase 3: The 90-Day Mastery (Full Certification) The final 30 days are dedicated to the beginning of true mastery. We conduct a final review of your clinical applications and business sustainability. Upon successful completion of this 90-day bridge, you are awarded Full Sweet Bee Certification and become eligible for the Fellowship Program.
Real-Time Clinical Support: On-the-go access to Leah Hairston for guidance during your first client interactions.
The Business Hub Automation: Professional service agreements, intake forms, and Maryland-specific Medicaid onboarding.
Ideal Client Matching: Proprietary strategies to identify and secure families who value your "first career" expertise.
Sustainability Audit: A customized capacity calendar to ensure you hit your income goals without burnout.
To maintain the integrity of the Gold Standard of Birth Support, the 90-day Business Bridge™ is a mandatory component of our pathway. This ensures that every Sweet Bee Certified Doula is not only clinically safe but professionally sustainable.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of the Clinical Foundation™.
Investment: $400 / Month (90-Day Minimum).
Outcome: Full Professional Certification and eligibility for SBS Contractor status.
