Postpartum Doula Support

  • Nourish with Meals

    Restore, strengthen and warm the body with nutritious soups, stews, and snacks- supportive of this unique postpartum season while delicious enough for all family members to enjoy. Medicinal, flavorful food is our love language.

  • Connect with Baby

    Feel supported as you and baby embark into this fourth trimester. Together we will foster an environment for you and baby to connect in feeds, swaddling, and naps in the early days. Resources will be provided to empower your personal journey into parenthood.

  • Support with Herbs

    Enjoy mineral-rich and lactation supportive herbal infusions curated for your unique constitution and the postpartum period. Herbal oils, foot baths, scalp massage, and herbal sitz baths will be incorporated into your support plan.

  • Integrate the Family

    Build a nest where all family members are integrated and included. We will create special activities and new family rituals to cultivate thoughtful integration of partners, siblings, and pets into this season.

  • Restore the Body

    Rest and heal the body after crossing this powerful threshold. We will utilize the modalities of belly-binding, herbal foot baths, sitz baths, and herbal scalp massage to help support the body’s natural healing processes and vitality. Together we will also designate a part of the home as a sanctuary space specific to your rest.

  • Find a New Rhythm

    Feel empowered as you find a new rhythm to daily life. We will slowly and mindfully begin integrating desired daily tasks and practicing for your first journeys together out of the home. It is our intention to make you feel comfortable and confident to take on these steps once you have transitioned out of our support.
