We’ve all heard the saying, “It takes a village,” but in our modern society, that can be hard to find.
Whether you’re expecting your first baby or well into your parenting journey, don’t mother alone! Your Postpartum Village is here to support you.
a new mother was considered just as vulnerable as her new baby, needing full support to thrive. She was fully supported and surrounded by the women of her village, helping with her daily needs and restore her after delivery. Provided with warm, digestible food, healing rituals, and care for her body and soul, a new mother’s one responsibility was to bond with and nurture her baby.
Traditional cultures around the world understand this importance of care for new mothers and its positive effect on families and on society.
Yet many families today are often left alone during this vulnerable period, rushed back into the busyness of life and work, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
Group Workshops and Classes on a Variety of Topics. See “Details and Bookings” for more information
In-home postpartum packages provide ongoing physical and emotional support needed as you bond with your baby and let your body restore after delivery. Prenatal planning sessions are included. Each mother’s needs may vary and packages can be customized to ensure you get the support that you most need. From nutritional guidance and lactation support, to physical and emotional care and regaining movement after recovery, all can be catered to your needs within the postpartum doula packages. Support during this time is critical for mental health and physical recovery. Don’t mother alone! Contact me for a complimentary exploration meeting.
