Postpartum Doula + Chef
In-person fourth trimester support + nourishment.
As a postpartum doula I help facilitate the transition into parenthood by providing families sufficient non- medical support and education during the first three months after birth, also known as the fourth trimester. It is my job as a postpartum doula to, “mother the new mother” so that she can focus her energy on bonding with her new baby and recover from childbirth.
Pregnancy is a transformative time in a woman's life; it's a time of growth and transition—the Ayurvedic approach to pregnancy and postpartum honors this process by nurturing maternal and infant development. A combination of self-care practices meant to support, ground, and nourish the mother, are all an essential part of this process. The intention is to ease the mother's load by reducing internal and external stresses so that she and her developing baby can experience more harmonious cyclical changes and also have a gentler recovery and healing time postpartum.
A mothers' diet is essential in her postpartum recovery. Ayurveda recommends that mothers eat well-balanced meals while also minimizing particular foods that can be difficult on their digestive systems. An Ayurvedic postpartum meal is served fresh and warm. It includes ingredients that are grounding, lubricating, and appropriately seasoned with digestive spices.
All of my meals are made with love, are breastfeeding friendly, and customized to the mothers needs.
How it works:
Each session is a 5 hour minimum. Upon hiring there will be a prenatal intake session for the opportunity to meet each other. During this prenatal intake, I will go over the scope of my practice, general postpartum education, postpartum preferences, and we will discuss your particular needs of my services.
Special Packages are available for 40hrs and up.
