Postpartum Doula Services
Taking care of people who take care of people.
If you are a soon-to-be mother to a new child, you are the definition of someone who takes care of others. You deserve services that are in-depth, consistent and frequent to support you in having the most successful postpartum period possible.
I am passionate about being there for mothers in the transition phase of being home with your newborn. This does not only apply to those first few weeks. You might find yourself wanting support when your baby is 4-6 months old, or older.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to be there for you and offer herbal support. I will make you nourishing tea while giving you a break so that you can rest or do what you want and/or need to do. The strategy is to give attention and pampering to mama’s nourishment and wellbeing, so that your priority needs are validated and nurtured.
