Comprehensive Doula Care
Supporting your family from preconception through postpartum
Based in Sebastopol, California
I believe birth is one of the most sacred thresholds a woman and her family will cross in their lives. That’s why I provide holistic care from preconception all the way through postpartum. I believe you deserve to be nurtured, tended to, and supported as you bring new life into the world.
My team of doula practitioners and I seek to offer you the care, knowledge, and experience you may crave in this phase of deep transformation. We offer packages tailored to your family’s unique needs. Please reach out to set up a call where we can create a plan to support you.
❋ Preconception
A time for preparation and intention setting. I sit down with you and your partner to consider your network of support as you enter this portal of creation.
I offer fertility support, herbal and food recommendations for health in conception and pregnancy. I also provide lymphatic body work to prepare your breasts & womb space for creating life.
❋ Pregnancy
A time of deep transformation. I am your support as you navigate a changing body and changing life.
During this time I offer body work to support lymphatic flow and prepare your body for breast feeding and hormonal shifts.
I also support your overall nutrition with food and herbal recommendations as needed.
We can cultivate a community of care, prepare for birth, and even stock your freezer for nourishing meals along the way.
❋ Birth
A time for new life. The birth portal is one of the most magical experiences when tended with care and sanctity. I am there to support you through this deeply sacred experience.
I can offer guidance, breath work, massage, nourishment to you and your family through the birthing process.
❋ Postpartum
A time for deep rest.
This is one of the most essential parts of the birthing process. Your baby and your body need time to heal and recalibrate to your new lives.
You deserve deep nourishment, hands-on care, childcare support, and home help as you tend new life and to your body.
It is said that the first 40 days determine the next 40 years. By tending to your body in this essential phase you can heal and prevent significant health challenges.
