Postpartum
The Fourth Trimester...
...is often forgotten about, and often the moment when the most support is needed. Giving birth marks a momentous change in how your body works, hormones, emotions, loss of fluids...the list goes on. Plus, things tend to get even busier at this moment when the most important thing for your recovery is REST and CARE.
As your doula, I will ask about and listen to what your exact needs are in each postpartum session and tend to them. I will aso work with you beforehand to set up a support system with your friends and family so that you have help with what you need during and after the times I work with you. Help may just be wearing the baby and tidying up so you can take a nap. It may be prepping a nutritious meal while you take a shower. It could be making you a healing sitz bath or peri-wash to soothe tender places. It could even be a shoulder for you to cry on when everything seems like too much.
My philosophy is that you deserve the care and rest that you need. Providing that to you betters our community by allowing you to be the person or parent you want to be--not an overwhelmed and undersupported, sleep-deprived one.
This is not how we want to feel postpartum...
It IS possible to feel like you have enough support--let's make it happen!
Structure of Services:
Just as every human is different, every person’s reproductive support needs are different. This is just an idea as to how my services may work for you, and by talking we can figure out the exact structure and price that fits your postpartum needs. (Sliding scale services, barter and trade are all available and welcome!) All services include a free, 30-minute initial session to discuss your goals and ensure that it is a good fit for your care. Services can be virtual or in-person.
