I am very passionate in honoring the support of postpartum care for you, your family, and your baby’s postpartum experience. I find joy being present within the caregiving role as baby and mother cross the threshold of birthing into a new life experience.
My role as your Postpartum Doula consists of supporting your nutritional and healing needs; I cook, provide light housekeeping, and support your rest/healing time as needed for recovery.
I realize the need of such a unique job to serve and support families and their newborns. In that space I practice empathy, unconditional/unbiased support, understanding, and guidance with a listening heart in addition to providing resources as needed.
Working in the unique space of Postpartum there are many challenges that await the parents, whether it’s your first or fifth, each child brings their unique needs to the family dynamic.

The postpartum time where the birth mother can lie in bed and heal/rest from the delivery of her miracle. A woman’s body is needing warmth, nourishment, support, quietness and a lot of rest.
What is the baby experiencing? Transitioning earth side is a lot of work for a baby. Lying-In is the first stage in the “Fourth Trimester” of acclimating baby to the world in a non-rushed manner. Constant skin-to-skin, softer noises, lots of sleeping, and even more breastfeeding help make this transition calm and smooth.
