INNATE Postpartum Care (In-Home Doula Support)
In-home postpartum care can be immensely beneficial during the tender time where the mother/birthing parent is healing from birth and your newborn baby is just discovering life outside of the womb. Here are some categories of care in which you can be supported during this healing window:
-Nourishment: Preparing nourishing and digestible foods such as warming soups, bone broth, stews, shakes, and easy snacks and finger foods to enjoy while breast/chestfeeding.
-Ritual: Sound healing, reiki, or small moments of ceremony + intention setting to help clear away fog, mental overwhelm to re-center and bring your nervous system, mind, and spirit into balance.
-Practical: Offer relief with an extra set of hands for daily tasks like laundry, dishes, walking the dog, spending time w/sibling(s) so parents and newborn can focus on bonding. This can also look like holding/wearing baby while mama takes space to carve out time for self care away from baby.
Traditional methods of restorative body care : belly binding, warm oil body rubs, and vaginal/pelvic steaming support are all lovely ways to feel good in your postpartum body.

May you feel a connection with your body, your heart, and feel strength to move forward.
May you receive compassion, nurturance, and care during this time.
And may you find ways to transform this loss into powerful intention for what’s to come.
May this be an opportunity for immense self care however it fits into your current life
WHETHER IT’S IN-HOME CARE OR A PRIVATE SESSION…
Reach out to discover what type of support could serve you most at this tender time
Abortions may be a mixture of difficult choices, hard realities, and overwhelming feelings, all along with the hormones and experiences of a body that has become pregnant.
Perhaps there is relief and even clarity, or grief. Every situation is so unique, and has so many layers.
Due to the great amount of stigma and shame around these topics many can feel isolated, lonely, and helpless in their experience.
This doesn’t have to be you.
A special note on Abortions
Anyone considering, pursuing, or recovering from an abortion is absolutely deserving of honor, care, and acknowledgement on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
