"A well-nourished mother makes a well-nourished child."
Warm, practical postpartum support for Maui families.
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 and ceremony.
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 becomes invisible or unrecognized in the process.
I come to care for the family by caring for the mother.
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.
Support may include
Herbalism, nourishment and simple meal prep
Rest and recovery support
Newborn and family rhythm support
Breastfeeding consulting
Emotional witnessing
Light practical household chores
Massage
Closing of the Bones Ceremony
Resource and professional referrals
This is not about bouncing back.
It is about being adequately supported while moving forward.
Slowly.
Tenderly.
In the body and family you have now.
Let's talk about what your family needs.
Postpartum support is personal. I would rather begin with a conversation than ask you to choose from a package before we know what your family actually needs.
