Holistic Postpartum Services

The presence of a doula helps women and their partner to feel emotionally supported during the birthing experience. It allows both mom and partner to feel calmer, which leads to an easier birth experience with reduced birthing intervention and better birthing outcomes. Often when the mother is crying out, she is needing touch and emotional reassurance and comfort, not medicine. The doula enables and can guide the pregnant person  and partner on how to be the support for the pregnant person; hence they are both being supported. The doula supports the couples plan and helps them understand the risks vs. the benefits of different procedures if necessary, while objectively supporting the couple in their decision making process. If a cesarean section occurs, the doula can an additional support for the mom, allowing the partner to be present with the baby.

A postpartum doula is invaluable in that they can provide a variety of supports the family is needing following birth. Each doula is different. I provide postpartum craniosacral therapy, bodywork, massage with soothing, warming, and balancing essential oils, holistic postpartum treatment, birth story listening and support, postpartum tea, postpartum revitalization soup, breast feeding support, nutritional guidance and shopping and recipes for this time in advance to support nourishment for mom, breastmilk production, and mother-baby bonding. I also offer a mother sealing ceremony to officially welcome mom into motherhood following 6 weeks. I offer c section scar massage after 6-8 weeks and diastasis recti check and exercises to strengthen core using physical therapy, craniosacral, and postnatal yoga training techniques.
