Expecting a baby or newly postpartum? 🤍
This season can feel exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between.

I offer free doula consultations for expecting parents and those in the early postpartum days. It’s a chance to connect, ask questions, and explore what support could look like for you and your family.

Those early postpartum days are beautiful… and exhausting.
You don’t have to do them alone.

As a postpartum doula, I’m here to support you as you heal, rest, and adjust to life with your new baby.

✨ Night feedings & overnight support
✨ Breastfeeding help & gentle guidance
✨ Light meal prep so you’re nourished
✨ Household help (dishes, laundry, tidying)
✨ Emotional support for you, not just baby

You focus on bonding and recovery — I’ll help care for the rest 🤍
Message me to learn more or book support.

Hospital bag tip #1🤍
You’ll think about labor… but postpartum is where you’ll really want comfort...

Soft clothes, snacks, lip balm, and a long charger = postpartum essentials.

Follow along as I share more hospital bag tips to close out the month of January!!🤍✨

✨ Big News from Knit and Known: Birth Services ✨

After much reflection, prayer, and planning, I’m excited (and a little emotional) to share that I’m officially moving to Missouri! This new chapter brings a lot of change — including relocating my doula practice.

To my incredible clients and families here in Union County, Arkansas: thank you from the bottom of my heart. Supporting you through some of life’s most sacred moments has been a true honor. You’ve filled my heart and reminded me why I chose this calling.

To my new community in Salem, Missouri: I’m so excited to start connecting and offering doula care rooted in compassion, presence, and empowerment. Whether you're expecting, postpartum, or just want to connect, I’d love to meet you. 💛

Here’s to new beginnings and growing roots in new soil.

With gratitude,
Abby Christesen
