While postpartum doulas can not provide medical or clinical care, we are trained to recognize when that care is needed and to help with coordinating it. We have extensive knowledge of evidence-based infant care and are happy to help you make informed decisions of your own.
Postpartum doulas are a neutral, non-judgmental helper in your home. Our role is to create a calm, safe space where parents can settle in gently to a beautiful "golden beginning" with their baby.
Postpartum Meals & Nourishment
The first 40 days after birth are a unique window for rest and recovery that lay the foundation for a mother's health and well-being for the years ahead. Across many cultures, ancestral postpartum traditions have recognized this as a season of warmth, protection, and deeply nourishing food. I carry this wisdom into my postpartum care with nutrient dense meals rich in protein, healthy fats, and minerals like iron and calcium to support postpartum recovery. Broths, soups, stews, slow cooked meats, fish and other soft, easily digested foods are at the heart of my offerings as comforting, gentle and healing foods.
Meals can be prepared in your home as part of postpartum doula care, or choose from a selection of refrigerator or freezer meals prepared in my certified kitchen. These meals are designed with postpartum life in mind: nourishing, easy to reheat, and made with thoughtfully sourced, high quality ingredients, prioritizing organic ingredients whenever possible.
