I’ll be away from May 20 – June 1, taking time to celebrate a milestone birthday with my family. I’ll be fully disconnected from work during these days something that honestly hasn’t happened in a long time.

If you’re looking for postpartum doula support during this time, I’d be happy to send over a few trusted recommendations before I take a break.

I started my 30s walking through severe postpartum depression. I’m ending them with a postpartum doula business that has allowed me to support mothers in some of their most vulnerable seasons. What a privilege to be able to do something I truly love.

Truly grateful for where God has brought me, and for all of you who follow along and support this little corner of the internet.

In one of my hardest seasons, I didn’t need someone to fix everything.
I needed someone to see me.
To step in.
To hold space.
To remind me I wasn’t alone.
Those are the moments that stay with you.
The ones that quietly carry you through.
And now, being on the other side of that.
I hold that with me in the way I care for mothers.
Support isn’t extra.
It’s everything.

C-section recovery is often talked about… but not always understood.

Because it’s not just about time passing.

Your body is healing layers of tissue, reducing inflammation, and trying to recover from surgery.

And in many places, there isn’t a real structure around rest. No clear “window” where a mother is expected to slow down, be supported, and focus on healing.

So recovery ends up happening in between everything else. In between feedings, in between sleepless nights, in between taking care of everyone but yourself.

And that changes how your body heals.

Because recovery isn’t just about time, it’s about what that time looks like.

With the right support, your body has the space it needs to actually recover.

After a C-section, your body isn’t just recovering,
it’s repairing tissue, reducing inflammation,
and trying to restore energy at the same time.

And while most of the focus goes to the baby,
very little goes to what the mother needs to heal.

Food is part of that.

Not in a restrictive way.
But in a supportive one.

Because in a moment like this,
what you eat can either support your recovery
or make it feel a little harder.

And this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the foods you love.

It just means your body is in a season
where nourishment matters more than ever.

Because food isn’t just about filling you up,
it supports your energy, your healing,
your mood, and how you feel throughout your day.

And when you’re caring for a newborn,
that kind of support makes a real difference.

Most mothers aren’t lacking effort,
they’re lacking support.

They’re eating whatever is quick and available
in between everything else.

As a postpartum chef, my role isn’t just to cook.
It’s to make sure you have meals that truly support your healing,
so you can feel cared for, too.

You deserve that kind of care 💛

A lot of what we do as doulas is never seen on social media.

We are invited into deeply personal, private spaces, and it’s something I never take lightly. It is an honor every single time.

These days, my doula work looks a little different.
Yes, the meals are still there.
Yes, the rest is still there.
Yes, the chores are still there.

All of those things matter deeply. They are part of caring for a mother well.

But then there are these moments—
the ones where you get to help build connection for a mama.
Where you gently push back against the loneliness so many women feel in postpartum.

Recently, I had two first-time mamas, both with baby girls born less than three months apart. I was able to connect them with each other.

This is the kind of thing I live for in my work.
The connection.
The support.
The way mothers find each other.

This is postpartum.

“What can I do to help?”

The intention behind the question is good. But the reality is that many mothers in the early weeks are so exhausted that even thinking about what they need, or asking for it, can feel overwhelming.

They’re healing, feeding the baby, running on very little sleep, and adjusting to a completely new rhythm.

Sometimes the most supportive thing a partner can do is simply notice what needs care and step in.

That might look like:
• bringing her water or a snack while she feeds the baby
• making sure she has a proper meal during the day
• taking over small household tasks
• take care of the baby so she can rest or shower

Support in postpartum often comes down to small, thoughtful actions done without being asked.

And this is exactly the kind of support I help families prepare for.

As a postpartum doula and postpartum chef, I work with families to make this season feel more supported, nourished, and manageable.

Send this to your partner.

When I first started working in postpartum care, I quickly realized something.

There was plenty of information — but very little guidance on what this work actually feels like in real life.

How do you sit with a mother who is overwhelmed without trying to fix everything?

How do you support deeply without carrying what isn’t yours to carry?

How do you build a postpartum practice that is both supportive for families and sustainable for you?

These are the kinds of questions that shaped The Postpartum Apprenticeship.

This program isn’t a certification or a fast-track course.
It’s a small, practice-based space for doulas and aspiring doulas who want thoughtful mentorship while they build their work.

Over six weeks, we explore the emotional landscape of postpartum care, the practical realities of supporting families, and the foundations of building a doula practice that can grow with you over time.

The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s confidence, discernment, and support while you learn.

If you’re curious about joining the founding cohort, you can DM “APPRENTICE” or visit the link in bio to learn more.

Can I just be honest for a moment about where my heart is?

This is one of the only pictures I have as a baby. My parents came from India to America to give us better opportunities. They were able to come because of my mom’s older brother—and I think about that often.

I think about what it must have been like to learn a new language, to find community, to find opportunity from nothing.

When I see ICE, I don’t just see policy.
I think about the fear it has brought to so many people who look like me.

Please don’t tell me they only go after criminals.
That has not been everyone’s experience.

If you want a real conversation, my table is open.
I will even make you tea.

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been quiet on social media, thinking the heaviness would go away. It hasn’t.
I cry about this more than I share.

My life today looks very different from my parents’ lives at my age—and I don’t take that lightly.

Please take time to learn the stories of immigrants.

I love this country.
And I love immigrants.

It’s possible to do both.
