Sacred Postpartum Rituals & Supporting the Mother-Baby Dyad

Becoming a mom is a deeply sacred and life-changing adventure and after 14 years as a doula, I’m increasingly convinced that postpartum care focusing on the mother-baby dyad is the most important work in the childbearing years. After experiencing a euphoric and fully supported 4th trimester myself, I am honored to introduce our Holistic Postpartum Recovery program —a spiritual and nurturing experience that deeply honors the mother-baby dyad, while drawing from ancient traditions to guide you towards an optimal 4th trimester recovery. If you’re looking for postpartum support in or near Oakland County, I have designed this program for you as a way to deepen your bond with your baby and help you tap into the timeless wisdom of your own maternal intuition.

Sacred Healing Rituals

Step into the sacredness of herbal sitz baths and baginal steaming within the sanctity of your own home. These rituals have been practiced for generations, designed to honor the spiritual connection between mother and baby. Immerse yourself in the gentle embrace of organic herbs, carefully prepared to support postpartum healing, alleviate discomfort, reduce swelling, and enhance the body's innate recovery process.

Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Soul

Mother Roasting is a practice that offers comforting heat therapy to ease aches, enhance circulation, and restore balance. This holistic approach extends beyond the physical, nurturing both your body and spirit. Savor warming drinks, soothing broths, and gentle heated massage, creating a holistic experience that rejuvenates your inner and outer self. All supplies are included to ensure your complete comfort.

Deepen the Spiritual Bond

As someone who struggled with establishing a strong breastfeeding relationship, I know how challenging it can be AND how important is it for some women to stick with their breastfeeding goals. The Holistic Postpartum Recovery program not only provides informational & educational support but also emotional guidance to help you and your baby establish a strong and sacred breastfeeding relationship. We understand the spiritual dimension of this journey and offer in-home or virtual visits to ensure your breastfeeding experience aligns with your families needs.

Tapping into “Granny Wisdom”

Rediscover your inner wisdom with intuitive mothering guidance or “granny wisdom” —a journey that invites you to quiet the external noise, stop comparing yourself to other moms, and delve deep into your own intuition as a mother. Here, you will find the spiritual guidance to make choices that honor your unique path.

Newborn Sleep Education & Safe Co-Sleeping

Explore newborn sleep education through a historic and emotional lense, focusing on creating a secure sleep environment that honors your and your baby's well-being. We prioritize the physical and emotional safety of your family, providing insights to ensure peaceful nights for both you and your little one.

Secure Physical Bonding with Ease

Discover the joys of babywearing with our in-home consultations. We guide you in selecting the perfect carrier and teach you techniques to ensure your comfort and your baby's security. Our goal is to foster a deeper bond between you and your baby, so you can confidently carry your little one with ease.

Sustainable Choices for Your Family

Explore the world of cloth diapering with our expert guidance. We'll help you choose options that seamlessly fit into your family's life & budget, and helping you reduce your environmental impact while keeping your baby comfortable and chemical-free. We can even bring samples of a variety of cloth options to try.

Nourishing Body and Spirit

Recognizing the vital role of nourishing your body in the postpartum phase to ensure you're well-equipped to nourish your baby, our light meal preparation revolves around snacks and meals that promote your physical healing. If desired, we can craft a personalized meal plan tailored to your holistic needs, complete with a shopping list catered to your preferences.

Our Holistic Postpartum Recovery Visits are priced at $280 for a 4-hour session, which includes expert guidance and all supplies for supporting your sacred healing journey. While food for light meal preparation is not included, we can provide a shopping list tailored to your preferences or we can easily prepare nourishing snacks with whatever you have on hand. We recommend 1-2 visits a week for at minimum the first 6 weeks postpartum to optimize your healing and help establish a sacred life rhythm for both mom and baby.
