in-home postpartum care
(CURRENTLY BOOKED)
The role of the postpartum doula is to hold unwavering space, offer unbiased, evidence-based information, and hands on support for establishing lifelong practices that may carry into motherhood and beyond.
Be it cooking nourishing meals, or inspiring rituals for self-care, these services are intended to give new parents the guidance they will need by encouraging and enhancing their own skills to bloom so that various tasks nurture a blissful connection and loving acceptance for the body, soul and in turn, new baby.
As a postpartum doula I validate this intimate process and dedicate my unique, personalized and professional skillset into 'mothering the mother', with a special focus on recovery, and bonding with the baby. I will provide the best community resources, and both timely and quality referrals to other perinatal professionals when needed.
