✨Postpartum Doula
✨Newborn Care Specialist Hi, I'm Elyse! I love helping moms grow in their confidence as they transition into motherhood!

I am Orange County born and raised (I delivered 2 of my children just rooms down from where I was delivered!). I am a postpartum doula, a certified Newborn Care Specialist and certified with the American Red Cross in Adult, Child & Infant CPR. As a mother to 3 wonderful children, my journey into postpartum work began after my first daughter was born. I had always been interested in the birth + pos

tpartum world but wasn’t sure where to go or how to get there. Having had my own children has opened my eyes to the amount of support needed for families (especially in the early days!). I want to make sure that mothers in our community feel encouraged and supported as they find their rhythm as a family.

Welcoming a newborn is an incredible experience, full of love but also a bit of anxiety. It's a big change, and there's a lot to learn! To make this transition smoother, here are three simple but crucial steps to keep in mind for newborn care.

First, get feeding down—whether it's breast or bottle, knowing your baby's hunger signs is key.

Second, learn to swaddle—it can really help your baby sleep better.

And third, don't underestimate the power of skin-to-skin contact for both bonding and health benefits.

Starting this journey is all about practical steps and real support. For more advice on handling the early days with your newborn, check out my latest blog post.

During a recent pause from social media, I was blessed to support a beautiful journey, welcoming baby "D" into the world and helping a remarkable new mama navigate her postpartum period. Congratulations on your growing family and this bundle of joy!

In these precious moments, I focused on preparing healing, Ayurvedic meals that nurture both body and soul, understanding how vital nutrition is for recovery and balance after childbirth. Ayurveda teaches us the power of holistic healing—supporting physical strength and emotional well-being.

It’s a privilege to witness the strength of mothers and the magic of their growing families, reminding me of the profound impact of thoughtful, nurturing care. Here’s to health, healing, and the incredible journey of motherhood.
