Traditional Postpartum Doula

"Postpartum care honours the mother's rebirth." - Abuela Laura

The first forty days after giving birth is a period dedicated to rest, nurturing your body, and forging a deep bond with your new baby.​​ These postpartum days are a journey of profound change both physically and emotionally.

 

Across the world, many cultures hold a deep understanding of the significance of this "lying in" period. Beautiful traditions and customs nurture and support mothers during this time. The focus is often on rest, nourishing meals, and a strong sense of community, all working together to ease recovery and adjustment.

​

New mothers in Western cultures can often feel alone, overwhelmed, and under pressure. Having good postpartum support can make a world of difference, helping to give a smoother transition into matresence.

​

As your traditional postpartum doula, my offerings include:

 

  • ​An in-depth postpartum planning session

  • Warm, delicious foods and drinks to support your healing

  • Tinctures, teas, herbs, and oils to gently guide your well-being

  • Belly wrapping and calming massages to soothe your body

  • Guided relaxation techniques to help you find moments of peace

  • Light Housekeeping, freeing up your energy to focus on recovery and bonding

  • Help with older children

  • Support with breastfeeding and baby-wearing

  • Phone and WhatsApp support when you need me

  • Information and referrals to additional support networks if needed

​

My approach is always gentle and respectful, and I will never insist on holding your baby. If you need some time to relax alone or a warm bath, I'm happy to hold your little one.​​

​
