Postpartum Doula Support & Services
Birth is a rite of passage. The days and weeks after a baby is born is a time for love, bonding and recovery - for the family and in particular the mother.
It is a time when your baby is exploring life outside of your womb - their first home. It is a time for you and your baby to get to know each other.
And you? It is a time for you to be held, supported and nourished after birthing your baby. Your body, mind and soul are going through an incredible transition - a metamorphosis.
This is often undervalued in our society, yet we don’t have to look very far to see its roots. In other times and in other places, this postpartum period of deep rest and healing was planned for and expected. Our grandmothers and ancestors were wise women.
We’re not supposed to do it alone.
So what do I offer?
As a traditional postpartum doula and yoga teacher, my offerings are wide and very dependent on your needs. In essence, I arrive with an open heart and ear and a warm tea. I aim to ensure you feel feel held, supported and looked after through offerings such as
Nourishing teas and herbs
Abdominal and foot massage using specific oils
Belly wrapping
Recipes for nourishing postpartum meals
Space to land after your baby is born
Local support and information
Education on your physical experiences and ways to support your recovery
Techniques to support your pelvic floor, abdominal separation and breathing
And perhaps most importantly, a space where you are listened to and heard.
