Postpartum Doula Services
In the words of my teacher, Erika Davis, "Birth is a moment, postpartum is forever."
Care to Warm, Nourish, Honor, and Support You
Whether you are expecting your first baby, or another addition to your growing family, postpartum care is available to ease your transition. In many cultures, the postpartum season is treated as a sacred time. People who give birth are set up for rest, nourished, witnessed, and held. I am here to help you honor this transition and support your needs.
My purpose is to meet your wherever you are at in your journey, to empower you as a parent, provide an empathetic listening ear, to care for your emotional needs as much as your physical and logistical needs.
My care centers trauma-informed principles.
I find it helpful to establish care before baby is born so we can create a postpartum plan together, however I am absolutely ready to jump in at any time in the first year postpartum.
