Sacred 1:1 Containers
Tailored Postpartum Care
Please note that this offering is only available within the 1:1 Whole Birth Continuum container, but I have placed this page here to highlight the importance of Postpartum care. This is deep, in home care, once woven into the fabric of society and has since been lost, I feel so much purpose in reviving it for the benefit of mothers and the future generation they usher in.
I will be nurturing you so that you can heal from birth, bond with your baby and smoothly transition into a new family dynamic. I tend to the new mother physically, emotionally and spiritually through my offering of Sacred postpartum care. Holding her in bringing all the pieces of herself blasted into the ethers during birth back together in a new configuration, her new identity. A gentle guide as she finds her way with mothering the way that she knows in her heart and bones. I am apt to be this pillar of support thanks to the relationship we cultivated through the birth prep we did together.
Planning for Postpartum
The preparation and planning for postpartum is an important part of this care, where essentially we create the nest. I help to design your postpartum, gather your support team, set up the meal train. Ultimately, the framework we create for postpartum sets you up with a village and network that you can remain connected to for the longer term of your motherhood journey. It's so important that the father/other parent is involved in this process so they can grasp the why behind the reasons for rest and support.
We will also look into your relationship to rest, receiving and boundary setting for relatives and friends to protect from situations that may not be appropriate in your most raw and vulnerable time after birth.

As your postpartum doula, I will be showing up for you in this tender, precious and unique time of your life. I will be nurturing you so that you can heal from birth, bond with your baby and smoothly transition into a new family dynamic.
Postnatal depletion and depression is at an all time high, and it’s the current social environment and lack of awareness around postpartum to blame. Thankfully, postpartum care in the West is making a resurgence. We’re finally starting to see the consequences of ‘bouncing back quickly’ and mothers typically being left alone, without the support they truly need.

By nurturing the mother, we nurture the baby. When a mother is properly cared for in postpartum, she is able to move into the next chapter of her life feeling capable, integrated and trusting in her intuition.
We can look to the traditional cultures around the world for guidance on how to care for a mother. Universally, they practiced an extended rest period after Birth, warming nutrient dense foods, massage, company from other women, sacred rituals to honour the transition from maiden to mother.

Once your baby is born, I will nurture you with therapies such as bodywork, sitz baths and yoni steams. These therapies are not luxuries, they are imperative for proper pelvic health recovery. I will cook you special meals that promote healing and breast milk production.
