What is a Postpartum Doula?

A postpartum doula provides emotional and physical support for mothers after birth by providing evidence-based information and hands-on care in the early weeks of postpartum healing. The Sacred Window, or The Fourth Trimester, is traditionally seen as the first 6-8 weeks following birth, but postpartum care can extend far beyond this initial phase of recovery. I wholeheartedly believe we are forever postpartum after birth, and I love working with clients at any stage of their journeys.

My offerings are centered around supporting deep healing through nourishing foods, gentle bodywork, and compassionate presence. I also offer guidance with newborn care and lactation, so you can feel confident and supported as you bond with your baby and settle into this tender new chapter.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a traditional system of Indian medicine with roots dating back over 5000 years. The word “Ayurveda” comes from Sanskrit and translates to “the science of life.” It is a holistic wisdom science that seeks to harmonize our internal and external worlds, supporting the relationship between body, mind, spirit, and environment.

Ayurveda views the postpartum period as a sacred season of transformation. The first forty-two days after childbirth are recognized as a vital window for rest, healing, nourishment, and bonding between mother and baby. This Sacred Window calls for attentive and individualized care to deeply support mothers as they recover and enter new parenthood.
