The baby has arrived. Now who is caring for you?
Our culture often prepares extensively for pregnancy and birth and very little for what comes afterward.
But birth is not the end of the journey.
It is the beginning of another enormous transition.
Your body is recovering.
Your nervous system is adjusting.
A new person has entered your family.
Everyone is learning.
Everyone needs care.
And the person who gave birth should not become invisible in the process.
My postpartum support is warm, practical, responsive, and shaped around what your particular household needs.
Some days you may need nourishment.
Some days you may need another pair of hands.
Some days you may need information.
Some days you may need someone to hold the baby while you shower, eat, breathe, or rest.
And some days you may simply need someone who understands that this transition is enormous to sit beside you without asking you to pretend otherwise.
Nourishment and simple meal support.
Rest and recovery support.
Newborn and family rhythm support.
Feeding and breastfeeding encouragement within my scope.
Emotional witnessing.
