You Deserve to Be Held Too
The fourth trimester isn’t just about recovery. It’s about being witnessed, supported, and deeply nourished.
Most postpartum care in our culture stops the moment the baby is born.
But traditional systems like Ayurveda recognize that birth is a profound transformation, not just for the baby but for the mother.
How you are supported in the first weeks after birth shapes not only your healing, but your emotional foundation for years to come.
That’s why I offer in-home postpartum care for families in the Phoenix area, focused on warmth, rhythm, and nervous system support.
What is a Postpartum Doula?
Postpartum Doula
A postpartum doula is a trained professional who offers non-medical support after birth. My role is to nurture you physically, emotionally, and energetically as you move through this powerful life transition.
Rather than checking boxes or offering one-size-fits-all advice, I tailor my care to your needs. Sometimes that means guiding you through lactation concerns or nourishing meal ideas. Other times it simply means holding space for you to exhale.
My Approach
My work is grounded in the belief that postpartum is sacred, and that true care is slow, intuitive, and deeply human.
I blend practical postpartum care with Ayurvedic principles, which emphasize warmth, rest, and digestive strength as the foundations for healing. I also draw on my training in yoga, somatics, and emotional attunement to support not just your body, but your inner landscape.
This is care designed to regulate your nervous system, reduce depletion, and create an environment where you can feel safe to process, recover, and be witnessed.
Support May Include:
Gentle presence and emotional support
Breastfeeding and lactation encouragement
Ayurvedic-informed nourishment suggestions
Light home care to reduce mental load
Guidance on postpartum rhythm, rest, and boundaries
Support for processing your birth story
Tending to your space, so you can tend to your baby
Why It Matters
In a culture that asks mothers to bounce back and carry on, having someone who centers you is powerful.
You are not meant to hold it all. You are meant to be held too.
Postpartum doula support can reduce the risk of anxiety, depression, and burnout. It allows you to recover more fully, connect more deeply, and feel more confident in your role as a mother.
Phoenix Area Support
I currently offer in-home care throughout the Phoenix area.
Sessions are tailored to your specific needs and can be booked individually or as part of a multi-visit package.
