My approach to postpartum doula care is rooted in my passion to bring ancestral wisdom back to the modern birth space.
Traditionally, women were nurtured and celebrated by their whole village following baby's arrival. New moms had so much support that it was the norm to stay in the postpartum "cave" for 40 days for optimal rest, healing, and bonding with baby.
I would be honored to be part of your village and help make this sacred time as peaceful and nourishing as possible for your family.
What my postpartum care offering looks like:
Mother-centered care
An emphasis on preserving the mother-baby dyad (breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, etc.)
Physical nourishment: hearty, organic meals and snacks, living water, healing herbs, bodywork, and herbal baths
Emotional nourishment: a safe space to process your birth/postpartum experience, navigate boundary setting, pay homage to your pre-birth self, embrace your new identity, and express whatever comes up for you on this beautiful journey
Environmental nourishment: preparing and maintaining your "cave," light cleaning, laundry, circadian rhythm optimization through lighting, nontoxic product recommendations
Education & resources around attachment parenting, breastfeeding, cosleeping, nutrition, hydration, medical interventions, & more
Radical protection of womanhood and informed consent
I might not be the best fit for you if...
You are looking for baby-centered care (i.e. a night nanny)
You are planning to exclusively bottle-feed and/or sleep train your baby
You follow a strict vegan diet (my postpartum nutrition principles and meal prep are centered around animal protein)
You prefer the terms "birthing person" and "chestfeeding" over "birth mother" and "breastfeeding"
