My Approach & Philosophy on Postpartum

In North America, postpartum care is often centered around the baby, leaving the mother or birthing person overlooked. Yet after birth, the mother is in an incredibly vulnerable state—one that requires just as much, if not more, nurturing and support than during pregnancy.

My role is to mother the mother in those tender early days and months of postpartum. This means ensuring the birthing person is nourished with warm, nutrient-dense meals, getting adequate rest, finding a feeding rhythm that works for them, reducing stress wherever possible, and spending intentional time bonding with their baby. Just as importantly, I provide a safe and compassionate space to process emotions, voice concerns, celebrate wins, and navigate the many shifts that come with this new identity.

The postpartum period is a time of immense transformation—what is often called matrescence, a profound process of change similar to adolescence, but for motherhood. As the birthing person adjusts to their new role, they go through chemical, physical, emotional, and social shifts that require deep care, patience, and compassion. It’s a time of recalibration that invites the new parent to reconnect with their inner wisdom and intuitive instincts. This transformation allows them to step into their new role with confidence and grace, reassured that they are capable of nurturing and caring for their baby.

In many cultures, postpartum is a communal experience filled with shared wisdom and hands-on support. That’s the kind of care I aim to offer: warm, holistic, family-centered guidance that helps each household create rituals and rhythms of wellness that nourish everyone involved. This is a time to remove the fears and concerns about being able to care for your baby. I’m here to reassure you that your instincts are your greatest guide, and with the right support, you’ll confidently navigate this new chapter of parenthood.

As your postpartum doula, I’m here to hold space as you step into motherhood or parenthood. This sacred window of time sets the foundation for your journey ahead, and my support—both informational and relational—is always tailored to your unique experience.

During the last trimester of pregnancy, getting a full 8–10 hours of uninterrupted sleep can feel nearly impossible as your body and baby prepare for the big day. The transition from a physically demanding labour to caring for a newborn 24/7 can be a serious learning curve—especially when babies wake frequently to nurse or are active, noisy sleepers.

That’s why overnight support is such a vital part of my care.

As your postpartum doula, my top priority during overnight care is to ensure you get uninterrupted rest, quality time with your partner, and a chance to unwind. While you sleep, I care for your little one—changing, feeding, and soothing them back to sleep—while also tending to light, quiet household tasks like folding laundry, preparing simple meals, washing bottles and pump parts.

Getting adequate rest isn’t just a luxury—it’s a foundation for physical healing, emotional balance, and overall wellness. When everyone in the household is well-rested, it’s easier to move through the postpartum period with greater ease, patience, and connection.

You know your body, your baby, and your needs best. My role is simply to support you in a way that aligns with your values and vision. No two postpartum journeys are alike, and you deserve care that honors your unique experience. If you're looking for thoughtful, hands-on support during this sacred time, I’d love to walk alongside you.
