Since 2017 I have been supporting families in the postpartum window. I have trained as a birth, full spectrum and postpartum doula with DONA and Ancient Song snd I am certified through Birdsong. I offer physical, emotional, and educational support. As well as nurturing and healing support for new mothers and birthing parents through the delicate first weeks of postpartum and newborn parenting. 

 

 

 

As a lactation counselor I offer breastfeeding education and help with latching assessment, comfort measures and positioning as well as protecting milk supply and promoting best practices for the beginning of breastfeeding. I also refer out to IBCLC's when more support is needed.

 

 

 

As a postpartum chef I believe that nutrition and nourishment are paramount to postpartum healing and I cook for my clients with inspiration from postpartum healing traditions such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I also know that cultural foods from one's own culture are so important during this healing period and strive to work with each one of my clients needs for comfort and care. I am also the founder of Soup Doula an online meal delivery service specializing in nourishing and healing soups so let me just say that my soup game in on point! But I mostly love knowing that my clients have healthy, easy foods to enjoy during those early days so they can focus on taking care of themselves and their new baby.
