Vitamin D supplementation for breastfed babies is important because breast milk doesn't provide sufficient vitamin D🙏

I suggest keeping your vitamin D close by where you nurse at a specific time of day to help you be consistent.

Vitamin D is often a good vitamin for grown ups too - postpartum is a good time to rebuild your body's nutrient base and establish healthy habits 🩷

I'm so pleased to be featured in a news article this week for Midwestern Newspapers. Thanks to for a great conversation and helping normalize the conversation that postpartum doesn't look the same for all women. (Article is pay-walled, but reach out to me directly to chat about the value of professional postpartum support.)

C-section recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. 🏃‍♀️

While many hear the "6-week mark," that is a physical milestone, not an expiration date for your healing. Your body is recovering from major abdominal surgery and the intensity of birth—it needs time, patience, and true supported rest.

Supported rest means resisting the urge to over-function once the initial pain fades. Delegate household tasks, limit lifting only to your baby, and know that feeling better doesn't mean you're fully healed.

You are strong, but you don't have to recover alone. If the pace of recovery feels overwhelming, a doula offers the gentle support and evidence-based reassurance that allows you to truly rest and recover on your own timeline.

You deserve all the support 💛

Love this take and a free resource to help your brain stay in labour land during the hospital admission process. Many hospitals allow for pre-registration which is also a great option!

These vibrant Fall colours dazzle me every year. Did you know leaves change colour because chlorophyll breaks down as temperatures drop and trees get less direct sunlight? The orange, yellow and red pigments are in the leaves all summer, but we only see them once the chlorophyll is gone.

If you know me, you know I love a metaphor. And today I'm thinking about the postpartum season when so much looks and feels different. But there is a real beauty in it: in the changing where energy goes, in the bare branches (hello postpartum hair loss!?), in the natural and predictable process that impacts every tree in its own unique way.

What's your favourite part of Fall OR postpartum? ☕🍲🍁🍂

Your body isn’t just recovering — you are transforming.

After birth, hormone levels shift dramatically as your body prepares to heal, produce milk, and bond with your baby. These changes can be disorienting no matter how much you mentally prepare, and even if you've been through it before.

It’s all part of the incredible, complex transition into motherhood that began with pregnancy or maybe even trying to conceive.

If you are a postpartum mama, give yourself grace (it's great practice for all the rest of motherhood 😉). You don't have to "bounce back" - You are healing, learning, and growing all at once, and that takes time.

Let yourself rest. Let others care for you. Let this new version of you unfold slowly. 🌸

✨ Your baby’s needs matter — and so do yours.

Hello, allow me to introduce myself 😊

My name is Alyssa and I am a DONA-trained postpartum doula in Huron County, ON. I’m passionate about helping families feel calm, confident, and cared for as they adjust to life with a new baby.

Not everyone is familiar with doula support. In a nutshell, we are non-medical professionals who provide practical, emotional, and informational support to families after the birth of a baby. I also work with parents prenatally to create a postpartum plan so they aren't flying completely by the seat of their pants when baby (or babies!) come home.

My approach is warm, practical, and tailored to your family’s needs. Whether that means hands-on help caring for your baby, support with household tasks and meal prep to help you rest, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence in your home, I’m here to help you find your rhythm and feel supported every step of the way.
