Holding The New Born Mother
If you’re preparing for life after birth and wondering how you’re supposed to manage it all: the healing, the feeding, the emotions, the unknowns, let me be the first to say: you don’t have to. You were never meant to.
In fact, postpartum was never meant to be done in isolation. It was always meant to be held by a circle of wise, loving, present support. My role as a postpartum doula is to be part of that circle, to walk beside you with care, warmth, and grounded presence as you navigate this tender rite of passage
My Mission
I believe postpartum is sacred, a time that deserves just as much reverence, planning, and care as birth itself.
My mission is to return the postpartum time to its rightful place as a deeply supported, community-held transition. Through hands-on care, nourishing foods, herbal and Ayurvedic traditions, and emotional support, I help you feel rooted, nurtured, and seen because when the mother is cared for, the whole family thrives.
Why I Do This Work
After the birth of my first child, I found myself stunned by how hard it all was, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. What shocked me more was how normal it seemed for mothers to do it all alone. I knew something was deeply wrong with that picture. I felt it in my bones.
Since then, I’ve studied and trained in traditional postpartum care and come to understand just how essential it is for mothers to be held, not just to survive postpartum, but to heal and integrate it in a lasting way. My second postpartum, with the support of a doula by my side, showed me what was possible.
I want that kind of support for you and for every mother.
What You Can Expect from My Care
My care is rooted in:
Ayurvedic and ancestral postpartum traditions, honoring rest, warmth, and deep nourishment.
Personalized, non-judgmental support that adapts to your unique needs and values.
A belief in your wisdom and choice. I honor your intuition and what feels right for you.
Village-minded care because healing happens in community, not in isolation.
I’m certified through INNATE Postpartum Care with Rochelle Garcia-Seliga, and currently deepening my path through Awakening the Village with Sasha Padron, to offer even more continuity from pregnancy through birth and beyond.

A Little About Me
I’m a mother of two, and even as a trained doula, both of my postpartum journeys were deeply
humbling. I’ve learned firsthand that support is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
When I’m not supporting mothers, you’ll likely find me singing, blending herbs for teas or
tinctures, or tending our garden where we grow food and medicine.
I believe that by caring deeply for our mothers, we will, in turn, heal each other and the earth.
