POSTPARTUM Doula
AS YOUR POSTPARTUM DOULA, I WILL SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY…
..during the last few months of your pregnancy and once the baby has been brought home. During the prenatal visits we will discuss your plans/preferences for postpartum, including feeding, sleeping, and postpartum care. I can offer product recommendations to help prepare for postpartum recovery and newborn care. We can work together to finish your registry and organize your nursery/home to prepare for baby’s arrival.
Once the baby is home I will join you at home to support your family as your transition into parenthood. My goal as a postpartum doula is that by the end of our time together you will not need my support any longer. I start out my postpartum support with 10-15 hours in the first week, over 6 days, and as the weeks continue my hours and days will taper off as your need for my support changes.
I’ll hold space and help facilitate healing from any emotional distress surrounding your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum period. I want you to feel supported and loved during the time you need it the most.
I look forward to supporting you through this amazing life change!

PostpartumBelly Binding
AS A BELLY BINDER I WILL INITIATE YOUR POSTPARTUM HEALING JOURNEY
Belly Binding encourages healing from pelvic/pubic separation that occurs during pregnacy; It supports the relaxed and stretched out muscles. It reduces fluid and air retention in bowels and abdominal walls. In addition, it gets rid of the “empty” feeling after birth. Belly Binding a partial bind during pregnancy can be especially beneficial for pelvic support.
It is an Ancient Practice that I have helped to bring it to our Modern Time.
SETTING THE TONE
With Gentle Music in the background, fresh flowers, and baby friendly essential oils, I set the tone for a relaxing and nurturing experience.
I bring A Medicinal Astrigent for a gentle belly massage that is meant to help close the womb, bring your organs and muscles back in alignment to help you recover during postpartum. In addition, I will focus in giving a gentle massage to the round ligaments.
