Postnatal Care
Postpartum care is where my heart and passion truly thrive.
When a baby is born, so too are the parents, embarking on a sacred journey of transformation. I’m here to guide and support you as you step into this new role, helping you trust your natural abilities during the profound transition of the fourth trimester. This is a time not just for your baby to adjust to the world, but for you to rest, heal, and connect deeply with yourself and your newborn. In many cultures, the fourth trimester is honored as a period of deep care and recovery, but it is often overlooked in western cultures. My postpartum doula services are designed to ensure that you feel supported—emotionally, physically, and spiritually—through this time of rebirth.
