I am a mother, postpartum doula and cook, sound healing practitioner, and Reiki Master-Teacher. My passion lies in creating a safe and nourishing space for women to integrate their birth experiences while resting and getting to know their babies while honoring the profound transition from maiden to mother. I believe that postpartum healing and balance can be found through community and sisterhood, nourishing food and plant medicines, music and song, ceremony and ritual, and the power of presence and embodied experience.
My care is gentle, intuitive, and deeply attuned. Food is both my passion and my love language, and my postpartum food delivery service, Mama’s Kitchen, was born from my desire to nurture and care for new mothers and families. I hold that support and nourishment in the postpartum period are integral and I am deeply devoted to ensuring that mothers receive the care they need during this sacred time. I especially love cooking in a mother’s own kitchen—bringing warmth, energy, and love into her space. The rhythmic sounds of bubbling broths and simmering stews, the rich scent of melting vanilla bean ghee and cinnamon fill the air and transform the home into a cocoon of comfort and nourishment. In these moments, the kitchen is a sacred space, a hearth where generations of care and wisdom can be felt, where mothers can simply breathe, rest and receive. I believe strongly in this quiet but powerful form of care and the understanding that nourishment is not just about food but about creating an environment that supports a mother’s full restoration.
In addition to nourishing meals—which can also be prepared in my own kitchen and delivered fresh—I offer a range of nurturing postpartum care services. These include emotional support, attuned birth story listening and processing, replenishing and tonifying vaginal steaming, soothing herbal sitz baths, castor oil packs and moxibustion. I also offer calming guided meditations, soothing crystal bowl sound baths and energy healing for both mother and baby. I also offer home energy cleansing and smudging, sacred altar-building, and Closing of the Bones ceremonies.
My work is rooted in compassion, reverence, and the belief that every mother deserves to be deeply nourished- physically, emotionally and spiritually, as well as seen and supported in all ways as she steps into her new role, whether she’s a first-time mother or has just birthed her fourth baby.
