POSTPARTUM/POST-Birth Care

The first 6 weeks after giving birth is a tender and important time. I believe that skilled care and ceremonial work can support your healing and ease your transition into life with your new baby/babies. Depending on your individual birth experience and needs, postpartum visits may include combinations of the following:

  • Abdominal massage & belly binding

  • Down there/yoni steam & medicinal herbal baths

  • Moxibustion (a warming TCM treatment)

  • Energetic and physical massage/bodywork

  • Ventosas (Meso-American fire cupping)

  • Support with newborn communication, care & feeding

  • Holding space for emotional processing & integration

  • Infant massage demonstration & instruction for caregivers

  • Dietary and herbal recommendations & meal prep

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

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

The first 40 days package: 6 postpartum sessions, including a traditional closing ceremony as the final visit. These are generally offered one visit a week for the first six weeks, though scheduling can be flexible based on your needs. The fee for exchange is $950. (Cerradas are generally 2.5-3 hours so this is a $100 savings off my hourly rate).

Please note: I am not currently offering overnight care.

Pregnancy Release & Reproductive Loss

As a full spectrum doula, I honor the wide variety of outcomes that folks experience in their journeys. These can include various forms of pregnancy and reproductive loss and release (including abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, unsuccessful iui and ivf, etc). These times can be deeply transformational and are deserving of compassionate and respectful 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 care, including: herbal baths, down there/yoni steams, abdominal massage & belly binding, moxibustion, cerradas, etc.

  • Holding space for your processing & integration

Prenatal Prep

After 10 years suppPrenatal prep sessions are 90 minutes each and are organized to help you prepare for your birth. They are tailored to your needs and can include creating your birth preferences, practicing rebozo techniques & comfort measures for labor, helping you understand the benefits and risks of potential interventions, nutrition & herbal recommendations, coaching for pushing & birth, pelvic floor health & healing practices, preparing for your postpartum time, and more. These sessions are offered for a birthing person and can also include 1-2 members of your support team. You will also have access to my online informational and educational resources. The fee for exchange is $150 per session.

Please note: I am not attending births at this time.
