Doula Services
Pregnancy & Birth Support
The birth of a new life
invites the birth of a new self
Preparing for and welcoming the birth of your baby runs deeper than most families expect. My services center around the potent element of transformation that mothers + birthing parents undergo as they move through pregnancy, birth & postpartum.
Pregnancy and birth are happening through you, not to you. I seek to instill an unwavering sense of autonomy and empowerment in my clients so that they can develop a unique vision for their birth, emanate confidence, & surrender to the innate intelligence of the female body + nervous system.
The power of birth requires the utmost support & nourishment through:
Prenatal Yoga & Spinning Babies
Breathwork & Pelvic Floor Connection
Viewing “Pain” as an Opportunity for Transformation
Evidence-based Birth Planning
My philosophy is integrative, client-centered and humanistic in nature. Touching on emotional, mental, physical & spiritual experiences, we will prepare you, your body, your family, and your baby in a collaborative, compassionate and personalized setting.
Postpartum Support
A time for rest, healing, & bonding
The postpartum period comes with two primary themes: healing and rest for the mother + birthing parent; and nurturing the precious growth of the newborn. It is an exceptionally delicate time for everyone in the family. When parents are held and mothered just as much as their babies are, then rejuvenation, health, and vibrancy can underline the waves of postpartum.
Postpartum support begins far before the baby is born, and it is often needed longer than the typical 6-week timeframe. Regardless of when we begin our work together (during pregnancy or after birth), the services I offer in postpartum are geared towards supporting the needs, bodies, minds, and hearts of birthing mamas + parents so that they can feel grounded, validated, informed, and prepared as they tend to their little ones.
Some themes we will focus on together:
Reflecting on and Processing the Birth Experience
Nourishing the Body: Food, Herbs, & Nature
Yoga & Breath for Postpartum Healing
Supporting the Mind and Heart
Tending to the Newborn
Systems of Support and Community
Home Basics: Organization & Functionality
