This is a great time to catch up on sleep! My focus is only on the baby during these times. If you are breastfeeding, I can be responsible for burping, diaper changing and getting your baby back to sleep. If you are bottle feeding, you can let me take full responsibility so you can get a full night's sleep. Having someone at night helps mom and baby settle into a calm rhythm.

*Closing of the bones is an indigenous practice that supports new moms and anyone experiencing a transition, like closing a chapter and opening a new one. I was trained by midwife Miriam Avalos Metztlixochitl through Dream Doula Village.
Miriam wrote this to us:
“The hip closure is not only a physical technique. It is a ritual of integration – a reminder that the body holds stories, and that with intention and presence, we can support its release and realignment.”
“May you carry this knowledge with responsibility, softness, and strength. May your hands bring comfort, safety, and restoration to every woman you serve. And may you always remember that when we support another woman's body, we are helping her come home to herself.”
I hold this practice with integrity and honor the generations of women who have carried it forward.
I'm a mom, and my baby is now 23 years old!
After I gave birth, there was very little support, and my husband traveled. I did not honor the first 40 days for myself and my baby. At the time, I did not fully understand the impact that getting up and running around would have, when I should have been resting and having nourishing and restoring foods to rebuild my body and health, as well as supporting my baby's transition into the world. The result of this reverberated into my future.
It is my mission to inform and help pregnant, birthing and postpartum moms and new babies. This is a spiritual journey.
I have been preparing nourishing family meals, nutrient-dense foods to support healing and convalescence, and specialized prenatal and postpartum foods for clients for over 10 years.
With newborn specialist training, somatic and energy healing, kundalini yoga, and meditation training, I support you and your baby with calm presence and informed care.
