Postpartum mamas deserve to be nourished just as much as they nourish their babies. With a client day tomorrow, plus a couple stops before-hand for the postpartum friends in my life, I made up a big, big batch of homemade bone-in chicken noodle soup thats packed with love and the healing power of turmeric.

One of the greatest gifts you can give a new mom isn’t just help - it’s a hot, healing meal she didn’t have to make herself.

April, July, and August are fully booked! I have limited space in May and June but would love to support a few more families through the fourth trimester.

As a postpartum doula, I offer more than just an extra set of hands - I provide calm, nonjudgmental support in whatever way you need it most. That might look like:

• Breastfeeding guidance and bottle-feeding support
• Infant care and soothing techniques
• Sibling care so older kids feel seen and supported
• Light housekeeping to help you feel more settled at home
• Meal prep or snacks to keep you nourished
• Emotional support, space to process, and reassurance
• Help establishing routines that work for YOUR family

And the best part? You don’t need to commit to a big package to get help. I also offer “Doula for a Day” sessions - a one-time (or more) visit that provides focused support right when you need it most.

If you’re expecting in May or June or are currently postpartum and seeking a little extra help, send me a message!

A fresh batch of banana strawberry muffins for a family finding their rhythm. Postpartum care is about showing up in small, consistent ways - offering ease, comfort, and reminders that parents need caring for too.

While his mama recharged and took some well-deserved time at the gym downstairs, I got baby snugs while we had a laundry day and organized his clothing baskets.

A healthy, happy mom means a healthy, happy baby 🤍

Instructions unclear…. Who can relate? 😅

As your postpartum doula, I’m always a text or phone call away for any and ALL of your questions!

Your birth story matters! I’ve spoken to multiple women past childbearing age who have said, “if I had know better I would’ve done things differently.”

Don’t buy the lie that birth is just about getting the baby out of your body.

It’s a spiritual transformation. You are not the same after and you weren’t meant to be.

There is such beauty to the surrender of the birth process and there is beauty in making informed decisions.

Both of these practices will grow you in ways nothing else will and carry into your motherhood journey 🤍

✨Think of postpartum doulas as your maid of honour through postpartum ✨

She finds resources for you so you can make empowered decisions for you, your baby and your family.

She teaches you about the items you’ll REALLY want and need for after birth.

She’s your go-to person when you want to talk or vent.

She doesn’t judge you when you’re feeling raw and vulnerable.

She holds space for you to feel exactly how you need to feel.

She listens, really listens.

She’s the meal-train coordinator, snack maker and house tidier.

She’s the one that isn’t afraid to recommend therapists or lactation consultants.

She checks in on you.

She’s deeply honoured to support you.

✨I have limited summer availability but have openings for April and May. Dm me with any questions or if you’re considering hiring a postpartum doula✨
