Postpartum Care
Cultures around the world have long revered the postpartum period as a time of profound significance, honoring the motherbaby dyad with practices that celebrate new life and support maternal well-being.
Known as the Fourth Trimester, many traditions prioritize a period of rest, nourishing foods, warming treatments, and loving presence to support the internal and external world of a new Mother.
Through this lens, my intention as a postpartum doula is to nurture a Mother so that she has the capacity to regenerate and emerge with vibrant health for future decades to come.
