Gentle Beginnings Collective is a compassionate birth and postpartum support service founded by Mia McCue. Our mission is to make mothers feel heard and supported during their postpartum journey. We combine practical assistance with emotional support to help families transition smoothly into parenthood.

A Newborn Care Specialist primarily focuses on the care and well-being of the newborn, infant care techniques, and sleep support. They typically work overnight or on a 24-hour basis and are highly skilled in establishing sleep schedules and managing newborn needs.

A Postpartum Doula provides holistic support to the entire family, focusing not only on newborn care but also on the physical and emotional well-being of the birthing parent and their partner. They offer assistance with breastfeeding, emotional support, light household tasks, and guidance on newborn care while fostering bonding between parents and their baby.

Yes, Gentle Beginnings is happy to support families who have access to Carrot Fertility reimbursement through their employer. Carrot covers a wide range of fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care services, including doula support. We can provide you with the necessary documentation and receipts to submit for reimbursement. Be sure to check with your employer or Carrot representative to confirm coverage details.

Most of our postpartum clients book our Comprehensive Support Package, which includes a combination of daytime and overnight support to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood. This package typically consists of daytime support: assistance with newborn care, breastfeeding guidance, light meal preparation, and emotional check-ins. Overnight support includes helping with night feedings, soothing techniques, and allowing parents to rest. We also offer smaller packages to support families seeking more targeted support. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll discuss your specific needs and recommend the best package for you.
