Postpartum Care

The first 6 weeks after giving birth is a tender and important time. I believe that additional care and ceremonial work can help support your healing and ease your transition into life with your new baby/babies. These sessions can be add-ons to your labor & birth support or stand alone. Depending on your individual birth experience and needs postpartum care may include combinations of the following:

• Gentle belly massage & binding

• Down there/yoni steam or medicinal herbal bath

• Moxibustion (a warming, soothing herbal treatment)

• Energetic and physical massage/bodywork

• Support with newborn communication, care & feeding

• Support around emotional recovery & processing

• Infant massage demonstration & instruction for caregivers

• Dietary and herbal recommendations & meal prep

• A Cerrada/Closing Ceremony (includes a reflection ritual for you and your birth team, an herbal bath, massage, and wrapping, rocking & sealing with rebozos)

  Individual sessions: A fee for exchange of $150 per session (about 1.5 hours). These can be tailored to your particular needs.

  The first 40 days package: 6 postpartum sessions, one per week for the first 6 weeks, including a traditional closing ceremony as the final visit. A fee for exchange of $900.

Abortion, Early Pregnancy & Reproductive Loss

Full spectrum doulas recognize the wide variety of outcomes that folks may experience in their reproductive journeys. This can include abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, and reproductive loss (unsuccessful insemination and/or in vitro fertilization). These can be deeply transformational times and are deserving of compassionate care. Depending on your circumstances and needs, individual sessions may include:

• Emotional and physical support before, during, and/or after procedures

• Setting the space & helping hold a release ritual and/or closing ceremony, if desired

• Providing healing support, including: herbal baths, down there/yoni steams, abdominal massage & belly binding, moxibustion, etc.
