HERE’S WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU:

Birth Doula

Allow me to walk with you through pregnancy and labor. I’ll be there to guide you prenatally and be present during your birth.

Postpartum Care

I offer in-home support after birth to ensure you’re getting the best care postpartum.

Yoga Instructor

I offer multiple yoga classes both prenatally and postpartum, group sessions, one on ones or with your partner.

Birth Doula Support

  • As your birth doula, I support you prenatally and during birth. We meet 1-3 times during pregnancy to create a birth "plan" and better understand your vision of birth.  We discuss comfort measures, go over how I can best serve you emotionally and physically during labor and how to best include your partner’s support throughout labor. I’m on call 24/7 for you two weeks before your estimated due date and up until you give birth. I’ll be there to support you during active labor and will stay with you up to 1 hour following the delivery of your baby.  We'll have one follow up postpartum visit to close out our time together. Once hired, I am available for any support you may need via phone, text, or email.

Postpartum Doula

Postpartum Support

  • Known as the “fourth trimester", I support families right after birth and typically up to 8 weeks after baby is born. This includes nourishing care for the birthing parent and newborn during daytime hours.  Focus is on guidance and assistance with newborn care and physical and emotional support for the birthing parent.‍ I believe mother is baby’s first home and by nurturing the mother we are creating the best environment for everyone to thrive.

    As an INNATE postpartum practitioner, my work is based on the teachings of Rachelle Garcia Seliga. This care is rooted in women’s physiologic design, is found throughout the world’s postpartum traditions and includes the 5 pillars of postpartum care: extended rest, nutrient dense food, bodywork, warmth and community.

Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga

  • Practicing yoga throughout pregnancy has the ability to tend to common pregnancy discomforts as well as is foundational in preparing the mind, body and spirit for labor and birth. My classes are breath-centered and focused on guiding the practitioner inwards so they can listen to their body, intuition, and baby's wisdom while offering space to be curious about the places where these intersect. I offer group classes to build community support or 1:1 sessions where we dive deeper into what it is you're specifically looking to address.

Bengkung Belly Binding

  • A long, 100% cotton cloth is tightly wrapped around the midsection of your body during postpartum to aid in bringing everything back together after the expansion of pregnancy. We see different techniques of belly binding used as a cross cultural practice all over the world to support healing, this particular style is rooted in Malaysian culture.

    Offered starting around five days after vaginal birth or for a cesarean birth it’s recommended to wait until the incision is mostly healed at around 4-6 weeks. This is an in-person offering where I come to your home to explain how to use the bind and practice using it. I recommend including partner or another loving support person so I can show them how to offer you continued support throughout binding in the recommended 40 days postpartum. This practice does take a level of commitment and like most things in postpartum works best with some community support in place.

  • Benefits: supports the womb after birth, improves posture to aid in the common slouched position of feeding and holding baby, stabilizes stretched out uterine ligaments, helps close ribs and hips, supports the abdomen while organs shift back to pre-pregnancy position, warming, feels energetically grounding and comforting. Also highly recommended for those experiencing grief or loss as it could feel like a hug around the emptiness.

    • Phone consultation to be sure this is for you

    • 1 in-person belly binding application session

    • 1 traditional 100% cotton bind

    • Resource page of use, care and FAQ’s
