Postpartum care is a necessity, not a luxury
POSTPARTUM CARE IN THE HUDSON VALLEY/CATSKILLS REGION
holding sacred ground so new mothers can blossom
I am here to revolutionize the way we care for postpartum women. I am here to revillage.
We used to be the village that we all crave today.
When our sisters gave birth, we were there. To hold her. To bring soup. To welcome the new mother-baby with joy and songs.
We sat by her bed and rubbed her feet. We made her herbal baths, and listened and witnessed.
I offer my support to you in this precious time to create this village of support for your family. To reweave the threads of care, presence, and practiced knowledge.
what this looks like
Each session will be between 3 and 4 hours. That will look vastly different for different families, and on different days, however, some of the things we may explore in our time together may include:
warming therapies - abhyanga (Ayurvedic oil massage), yoni steaming, moxa, sitz bath, herbal baths
light household tasks and grocery shopping
ritual processing and witnessing through this portal
herbal preparations
support and education on resting and rebuilding after birth
emotional support and council
sister to sister support with breastfeeding, baby care, etc
infant cranio sacral
nourishing foods and yummy drinks
With each visit, I will provide support and presence so you can receive, rest, process, and be nourished.
TESTIMONIALS
I want you to root down in the postpartum time.
To be nourished and held, so you can nourish and hold your new babe. To feel witnessed and utterly supported so you can fall back into the arms of your own mother wisdom.
To allow this time to be one of rest, healing, pleasure, and deep recentering
This is how we create a culture of sustainable motherhood.

QUESTIONS? LET’S TALK!
GOT QUESTIONS OR SIMPLY WANT TO TALK? SCHEDULE A CHAT WITH ME.
Postpartum has only been able to become synonymous with depression in a culture that no longer understands and honors the physiological design of this time.
In a culture where a 6 week visit to “clear you for sex” is considered adequate care.
Where women are praised for getting back to the yoga studio a week after birth.
Where ⅓ of women experience prolapse because we think we’re only valuable if we can do it all, and no one is there to gently take the vacuum out of our hands, and tuck us back into bed with a cup of broth.
This may be common, but it’s not normal.
I want you to feel resourced and held in your postpartum time. I want to work together to change this myth of the horrors of the postpartum time to one of sinking into joy and pleasure on your mothering path.
For you, for the women you will impact, and for our daughters.
Cultures around the world have similar understandings of what postpartum women need. These needs are universal, no one who has given birth is exempt. Rest, warmth, nourishment, community.
And yet so many of us don’t experience them. So many of us go throughout postpartum times with a well meaning but slightly judgemental relative washing dishes and taking the baby occasionally. With friends stopping by, bringing flowers, and asking to be hosted. With partners going back to work a week after the baby is born and being left alone with a newborn the whole day. With grief, isolation, hunger, and over work.
The true design of this period however, is one of bliss, pleasure, and deep growth.
Not because everything will be easy, but when the innate needs of our bodies and spirits are met, we can dive into these deeper processes of integration and meeting our raw edges resourced, supported, and held.
I have a vision of the beauty and transformation that can be present in the postpartum time.
