Postpartum Services
The services I provide are a combination of ones I’ve experience during postpartum that were incredibly valuable (postpartum support, birth processing, Mother’s Circles) and once I wish existed (postpartum planning and movement support). You can click below to learn more about each service or click here to request a catalog of my services.
I offer my services exclusively in package form, and there's a meaningful reason behind this choice. Having experienced postpartum doula services both by the hour and as a package, I found the package approach to be far more preferable. It allowed me to spread out the payments over a period of time before the baby came, relieving me of the burden of scheduling, handling invoices, and making payments during the fourth trimester. During the postpartum season, there's already so much to think about, and the simpler, more streamlined approach provided by service packages greatly reduced my stress. Therefore, I aim to offer mothers the peace of mind that the transactional aspects are settled before the baby arrives, allowing them to focus on mothering their newborn while I support and care for them. In terms of payment, I am entirely flexible and can accommodate one-time payments or weekly installments, adapting to what works best for your family's needs.
Mother’s Circle is a place for real, honest conversations about the joys and challenges that come with motherhood. The power of women gathering to lean on each other, ask for help, and share breakdowns and breakthroughs is profound. Through connecting with other mothers, we realize we are not alone, and these relationships are crucial in helping us find ourselves as mothers. This nurturing circle is a safe, confidential space to be honest about what is in our heads and hearts, share life experiences and receive support and encouragement. The format may vary for each circle, but the intention is to always provide space for mothers to connect, share, support, and celebrate in a meaningful way. Please consider joining us to connect and add beautiful women to your social and support village!
Mother’s Circle.
New motherhood can be exciting, overstimulating, blissful, and exhausting. We spend so much time and energy, especially in the early weeks, nurturing our new little one. During each hour together, I want you to leave feeling like you were the one being nurtured. I design each of our sessions to fit your season of postpartum, modifying movements that facilitate healing and bring balance back to your body. We will practice safely, encouraging blood flow and building strength over our weeks together in your core and pelvic floor while relaxing areas of the body that become stiff as you care for your newborn. By combining soft movements, stretching, postnatal yoga, and Pilates, my goal is for each session to honor your body and calm your mind, improving both your physical and mental health. Most important though, my goal is for you to leave our time together feeling renewed.
Postpartum Movement.
We plan for the baby’s arrival buying everything to take care of their needs. We plan for birth carefully crafting our birth plan. Taking the same amount of care to plan for postpartum is equally important. The postpartum planning service focuses on the essential aspects of preparing for the physical, mental, and emotional changes that come with the postpartum period. We cover topics such as physical and emotional recovery, building a support system, meal preparation, affirmations, common postpartum issues, creating a supply list, and accessing local resources. By engaging in a postpartum planning session, you can feel more prepared, ease the transition, and receive the support you need from your village. My goal is to help you create a postpartum plan that suits your unique needs and empowers you during this transformative time.
Postpartum Planning.
Every person who goes through the journey of giving birth carries their unique birth story within them, which can evoke a range of emotions from joy to sadness. Whether you had a peaceful and beautiful birth or feel disappointment and trauma, it is crucial to process your experience. Engaging in a judgement-free and guided conversation allows you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and navigate through your different experiences. This uplifting personal growth discussion is designed to provide insight, resolution, and healing after your birth experience. By processing your story, you can discover new perspectives on your strength and resilience, allowing them to shape your journey as a mother. I would be honored to hold a safe space for you to process and find new meaning in your birth story, empowering you on your path forward in motherhood.
Birth Processing.
Becoming a mother while learning to care for a newborn can be an incredibly overwhelming feeling. You just gave birth, are trying to heal, are sleep-deprived, and learning to bond with your new baby. Too often in today’s world, new mothers begin their postpartum season alone to fend for themselves. As a postpartum doula, I am committed to your health and wellbeing, assisting in any areas YOU need it most. As you embark on your postpartum journey of finding your “new normal”, I want to be alongside you supporting, encouraging, listening, and helping however you need.
