HOME VISITS 

During the first few weeks after giving birth it is time for the mother to be mothered. While she spends her days in bed, bonding with her new baby and together learning to breastfeed, she herself must be nurtured, and most importantly given the time to rest and heal. 

As a postpartum doula and holistic nutritionist, it is my intention to enter your sacred space of healing and your home with respect, and create a safe and warm environment, holding space for you to be your real self, whether you need a hug, a long chat or a good cry. I work with all types of families, whether you’ve recently given birth, adopted or experienced a loss. I would be honoured to guide you through these times, allow you deep rest and assist with holistic birth recovery. 

Below are some of the ways I nourish a new mother during a home visit

• Nourishing meals cooked in your home, including snacks and warm drinks and served to you in the comfort of your bed

• The use of food as medicine

• Herbs for healing

• Birth story listener to help process your labour

• Help with building your village 

• A supportive safe place to release emotions and celebrate motherhood

• Oxytocin boosting practices

• Breastfeeding support

• Sleep support and solutions for mom and baby

• Gentle massage

• Being available to hold your baby so you may rest, shower and care for yourself

• Light cleaning such as laundry, vacuum, doing dishes, and anything else that will bring you peace such as picking up groceries or walking your dog

• A personal referral list of trusted local practitioners and healers
