A postpartum doula is focused on motherbaby care- whatever that means for you
In my work as a doula, I have shared information on newborn sleep, taught mothers how to baby wear, helped establish a proper breastfeeding latch and eased worries about what’s “normal” in this sacred window of time. I’ve also prepared meals, sanitized bottles, offered energy work and made herbal infusions in the kitchen. I’ve comforted women as they cry about the overwhelm of it all and laugh with them during baby’s first bath.
Postpartum can be full of high highs and low lows . My role is to tend to all of your needs as your family transitions and transforms. My purpose is supporting women and children while guiding women to trust their intuitive nature of mothering.
Every postpartum visit looks a little different depending on your needs. Some things I offer include :
lactation counseling
prepared meals, teas & herbs
newborn care & education
sibling care & household help
ayurvedic body treatments including abhyanga & shirodhara
womb care including yoni steaming & belly wrapping
yoga, meditation & breathwork

"Julia helped me after the birth of my first son last month. I highly recommend her help especially if you are a first time mom. She is very intuitive and knows what needs to be done to help care for a newly postpartum mom and her baby. She brings such a gentle, nurturing energy to your home.... I'm so happy I had her around for the first few weeks of my son's life"

"Julia came to see me postpartum after the birth of our second son. Her calming yet assuring energy was much needed at that time and helped me navigate through the transition. I highly recommend her, she's extremely knowledgeable and the traditional Ayurvedic bodywork and meals she provided helped me to heal quickly and emotionally regulate when I needed it the most."

"Julia was like a soft place to land coming home from the hospital. She taught me so much about supportive Ayurvedic herbs and foods in the postpartum time. Her cooking and the abhyanga massage was blissful. I highly recommend her support!”
