I aim to serve you and your family in this tender, sweet and sometimes trying time with sensitivity and compassion. My services are custom designed to meet each family's unique dynamics and needs. Postpartum care is available hourly and is provided under contract. Check out the details.

I listen with my non-judgmental heart wide open and assist you in processing, celebrating and making peace with your birth experience and initiation into motherhood. Easy movement and restorative rest and relaxation sessions are available as an add-on service. (I am a certified yoga instructor specializing in therapeutic restorative practices). Nutritional guidance and meal preparation for recovery and lactation support are a big part of my offerings.
