THE FIRST FOURTEEN - Five visits week 1 + Three visits week 2
The first weeks postpartum can be the most intense emotional days of a woman's life, especially with your first child. Each woman is unique but typically emotions are running in overdrive, your life feels like it's turned upside down, and you may feel overwhelmed by the pressure of caring for your baby. It's also very common to feel alone and isolated. Often parents or a support network are in different cities or they don't align with your vision for mothering you baby. It can be especially hard if you have pre-existing anxiety, depression or trauma. This package will set you and your baby up to thrive. Each visit is approximately 3 hours where I will cook a nutritious postpartum appropriate meal and teas. The rest of our time is all about you and making sure you are getting what you need as a new Mama. This will include guidance if you're unsure what you need, education about how to best care for yourself and you baby, it may include guided relaxation meditation, support you with listening deeply, connection and sisterhood. I can also clear and clean your home or hold you baby while your rest or shower. My role as your doula is to make everything you take in beautiful, support you and provide guidance so you can feel nourished and rested so you can provide for and nurture your baby.
THIS PACKAGE CAN BE ADJUSTED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE FULL FIRST SIX WEEKS.
COST $1,600 (includes all food)
THE FORTH TRIMESTER - Customized to suit your needs.
In most baby books it will tell you that after 6-weeks everything should be settled. It's completely fait to expecting that around week 7 you'll have the hang of things and feel like you've found your rhythm. But, for some women it takes A LOT longer than 6 weeks to feel this way. Especially if you've had a birth that was not ideal, have had troubles getting in the groove of breastfeeding, have a baby that needs more care or are struggling with postpartum depression. The "FIRST FORTY" combines postpartum doula care with yoga therapy. I will give you on-going support for the full forth trimester. We'll start with the "FIRST FOURTEEN" (even if you're well past that). This will help set you up so you are starting well nourished. Then we'll have a minimum of 6 hour long visits together. We can continue Doula care and/or I will introduce yoga therapy techniques that will support your emotional wellbeing. Plus you can text message or phone any time you have a question or need a sister to listen.
