postpartum confinement

While many talk about the joys and wonders of birth, there is a huge piece of motherhood that is often forgotten: the "fourth trimester". These are the weeks immediately following child birth, when you will still be in a fragile state feeling: sleep deprived, painfully healing, and adjusting to your new normal as a mother.

While you are loving and nurturing your newborn, who is doing the same for you?

​

This is a time where you need and deserve to be taken care of, pampered, and have your needs meet while you enjoy your newest little family member.

That is what I am here for.

​

While you're still recovering from pregnancy and childbirth, you have an advocate and caregiver to help you navigate the first days with your newborn. You may feel one if not all of these emotions at some point after giving birth:

- Overwhelmed 

 - Emotional 

​- Feeling unseen and unheard 

​- Unsure of how to care for your new little one 

 - Feeling conflicted with wanting to care for your child, but needing space for yourself

 - In desperate need of practical help with washing laundry, dishes, or assistance with your older children

​

​This is where I come in. 

I am here to help with your postpartum needs.

​Whether it is child care, help with the housework, giving guidance in caring for your new baby (bathing, diaper changing, feeding), or simply a listening ear.

​Maybe you have children already, or maybe you are preparing to welcome your first one.

Perhaps you are unsure of how to change a diaper or warm a bottle. 

Breastfeeding might feel difficult or foreign.

You might just want the house cleaned or meal assistance.

​For every family, a  post-partum doula looks different, since every family's needs are different.
