One of my absolute favorite things to do is cook for people!

After giving birth, your body is working hard to heal and repair itself, which makes it especially important to focus on warm, nourishing, and hearty foods during this time.

In this video, you’ll see a quick edit of me preparing some delicious eggplant parmesan 🤤
Spoiler alert: it’s so yummy! 😋

Many people assume that when a postpartum doula comes over, the focus will be entirely on the baby. In reality, it’s often the opposite! My role is to hold space for you—the parents. I absolutely LOVE holding babies (who doesn’t?), but supporting moms and dads during this tender, transformative period is something truly special and deeply important to me.

Meal preparation and cooking are just some of the things I include in my postpartum support packages—and did I mention how much I LOVE doing it?

Whether you’re looking for both birth and postpartum support, or just one or the other, know that I’m here for you 🩷

From Breech To Head Down 🎉

Heard the news your baby isn’t head down yet? Freaked out for a moment?

Here are some powerful ways you can get baby to flip:

1. Moxibustion (What the heck is that Shira) great question 😅 it is a traditional Chinese medicine used as a therapy burning mugwort on or near specific points of the body. In this case, I use it on the side of the pinky toe for 10 minutes twice a day.

2. Chiropractic Care! Using the Webster technique which is a gentle adjustment aimed at optimizing pelvic balance and reducing uterine torsion.

3. Acupuncture- similarly to Moxi, needles are placed at specific points to encourage baby to flip. Often used with moxi!

4. Forward Leaning Inversion- Kneel on the couch and slowly lower your forearms or elbow to the floor so your hips are higher than your shoulders. Hold this position briefly for about 10-30 seconds then rest. Repeat a few times.

5. Last but not least, ECV also known as External Cephalic Version. This is done by your provider. He/She applies pressure to your abdomen and gently maneuvers the baby from the outside to get baby to flip. This is usually offered between 36-38 weeks for single pregnancies.

These 5 methods are effective and safe to do! I am so happy I was able to help my client not only achieve her VBAC but also we got baby to flip doing Moxibustion!

✨ Postpartum Support Groups: Your Space to Recharge & Reclaim ✨

Imagine this: you’ve just returned to work after maternity leave. The emails are piling up, your body still doesn’t feel like your own, and the guilt of leaving your baby every morning is heavier than you expected.

You start to wonder—am I failing at all of this?

You’re not failing—you’re likely carrying too much, alone.

Our postpartum support groups are a space to pause, breathe, and connect with other moms who get it. Together, we’ll explore the real topics that matter most:

💬 Managing stress & finding calm when life feels heavy

💬 Rebuilding confidence in yourself and your path

💬 Caring for your body while balancing everything else

💬 Protecting your identity and nurturing relationships

💬 Building your village so you don’t have to do it alone

This is real, in-person support—because motherhood wasn’t meant to be navigated in isolation.

👉 For details, to register, or to give, visit our Linktree.

💡 Thanks to the incredible support of our community and the success of our A Stronger Start Gala, we’re able to offer these groups free of charge.
