How Sanhu House works

A recovery shaped around you.

Sanhu House provides sanhujori-trained postpartum care in your home, day or night. We begin with what your body, baby, and household need, then build the hours around that.

Inside your care

The same standard of care, day or night

Choose daytime support, overnight care, or a combination that changes as your family finds its rhythm.

Sanhu House doula bottle-feeding a newborn during daytime postpartum care

During the day

Space to recover while life keeps moving.

Your doula creates room for you to eat, shower, sleep, recover, and learn your baby without carrying the entire household at once.

Warming rituals Light nourishment Feeding support Newborn care Household reset
Sleeping newborn supported during overnight postpartum care

Overnight

Longer windows of protected rest.

Your doula handles the stretches between feeds, including soothing, settling, bottles, and notes, so you can protect as much sleep as possible.

Across your recovery

The support changes as you do.

Early recovery does not ask the same things of you as week six or week twelve. Your care should evolve with it.

Weeks 1–2

Protected recovery

Create space for rest, feeding, nourishment, and the earliest stages of physical recovery.

Weeks 3–6

Confidence and rhythm

Adjust care around feeding and sleep while building confidence in what works for your family.

Weeks 7–14

A supported transition

Reshape care as routines settle and your family’s next phase begins to come into view.

Sample recovery shapes

What your hours could look like.

Care is $65 an hour. Most Sanhu House recoveries land between $6,500 and $22,750, but these are examples, not packages. Your care may be lighter, fuller, longer, or a completely different mix of days and nights.

Weeks 1–4

$6,500

100 hours of care

Weeks 1–2 Three 10-hour overnights each week
Weeks 3–4 Two 10-hour daytime visits each week

A lighter first month for a family that already has support but wants protected nights and dedicated daytime recovery.

Weeks 1–6

$13,000

200 hours of care

Weeks 1–2 Four 10-hour overnights and one 10-hour daytime visit each week
Weeks 3–4 Three 10-hour overnights each week
Weeks 5–6 Two 10-hour daytime visits each week

One way to cover the most intensive early weeks and gradually step down as confidence and capacity return.

$22,750

350 hours of care

Weeks 1–4 Four 10-hour overnights and one 10-hour daytime visit each week
Weeks 5–8 Two 10-hour overnights and one 10-hour daytime visit each week

One way to carry support across the fourth trimester and into the family's next rhythm.

Need daily, extended, or longer-term care?

These examples are starting points, not ceilings. We will build the right schedule with you during your planning call.

From conversation to care

How your recovery becomes yours.

We do not ask you to choose a package. We learn what you need, recommend the right shape, and build from there.

01

Start with a conversation

A no-pressure intro call to understand your timing, priorities, and whether Sanhu House is the right fit.

02

Tell us about your family

Your deposit begins care setup. The Design Your Experience intake gives us what we need to prepare your doula match.

03

Shape your schedule

Meet with our Matrescence Care Specialist to decide the right balance of daytime, overnight, and overall hours.

04

Meet your doula

Meet your primary doula before care begins, with backup support built into the Sanhu House model.

Your doula match

Matched for more than availability.

We consider your recovery priorities, newborn-care needs, household rhythm, personality, and the kind of support that will help you feel most at ease.

Your recovery priorities
Relevant newborn experience
Personality and household fit
Scheduling and backup coverage

Your primary doula is backed by the Sanhu House care team, so your recovery never rests on one person alone.

Skilled postpartum support, not medical care.

Your doula works alongside your OB-GYN or midwife, pediatrician, IBCLC, therapist, and other providers. She supports recovery and newborn care at home and helps identify when a question belongs with your clinical team.

Common questions

A few things families often ask.

Can we combine daytime and overnight care?
Yes. Your schedule can include daytime visits, overnight care, or a combination of both. Many families use more overnight support early and add or transition to daytime care later.
Are the sample schedules fixed packages?
No. They are examples of how different numbers of hours might take shape. Your actual schedule is built around your recovery, household, existing support, and priorities.
Can our schedule change after care begins?
We expect needs to evolve after the baby arrives. Our team can help adjust your schedule as availability allows.
What does my matching fee do?

The $500 matching fee covers the work required to create and carry out your doula match. Once the fee is paid and your Design Your Experience intake is complete, we use your responses to create a match brief, identify potential doulas, and arrange your interviews. The intake is not a care plan and does not set your hours, price, or final care team.

The matching fee is non-refundable, including if Sanhu completes the matching work and arranges interviews but you choose not to proceed with a matched doula. The only exception is if Sanhu has no coverage in your requested service area. In that situation, $475 is refunded after a $25 processing charge.

After your Matrescence Care Specialist planning calls are complete and your hours are set, you will receive a Scope of Services & Care Agreement outlining your specific care team and total hours. Signing that agreement confirms the start of active care. Full terms are provided at checkout.

Does my doula replace my medical providers?
No. Sanhu House doulas provide nonmedical postpartum and newborn support. They work alongside your clinical providers and help you recognize when a question should be directed to them.
