Postpartum Doula and Night Nanny Services- Postpartum Doulas are experts on welcoming new babies and new parents home.

Night Nannies offer overnight care for families who need more rest and support overnight. Yoga- We offer a private Yoga Birth Method class Please contact us for specific information about current and coming classes. Placenta Encapsulation- Placentophagy, or consumption of the placenta, has been reported for decades to help stop the baby blues and diminish postpartum fatigue and support lactation. We will deliver your placenta to our Encapsulation Specialist who will
Encapsulate it for you. You will have all the benefits of ingesting your placenta with the ease of swallowing a capsule. Belly Binding-Wrapping the abdomen in a Bengkung Belly Bind after birth, is an effective and important part of a Mother's recovery that aids the body to shrink and recover in a shorter time period, normally within 6 to 8 weeks. Belly Binding provides a Mother's postpartum body with 360 degree support to assist the abdominal wall muscle retraction, improve posture, stabilize loosened ligaments, and provide support to the torso while vital organs return to their pre-pregnancy size and position. The purpose of a post-pregnancy wrap is to speed up this process with constant pressure on the abdomen and torso. Quotes:
Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch. ~E.B. White, Charlotte's Web, Chapter XXII: A Warm Wind
