Postpartum Care
Consultation - Free
A 30-minute conversation via Zoom or phone to meet, ask questions about services or pricing, and determine whether we are a great fit.
Hourly Rate - $65
Personalized care to support your well-being during the three months after you birth your baby. You will receive customized service from the full library of my care at your request; choose what appeals to you, or we will base what we do each day on what you are feeling most in need of. Please book a four hour minimum (one day of care).
On-Call Fee - $500
Add an on-call fee to your package if you’d like me to begin your care immediately after you give birth, rather than starting within the first ten days after you give birth.

What does a typical day look like?
I arrive and we talk about your needs for the day. What’s been easy? What’s been hard? What questions do you have? We tend to anything urgent, then form a loose plan for the day. I might care for baby and clean your kitchen while you get a much-needed shower or nap. I might set up a hot herbal soak for you, and make you a delicious traditional postpartum tea and lunch. I might listen while you tell me about how things are going, so we can troubleshoot and connect you with the right resources together. Whatever comes up, my goal is to leave each day with the house tidy, the dishes and laundry done, you rested and fed, and a hot meal ready for you to enjoy that evening.
Services
Complete Belly Care Session - $225
A sixty- to ninety-minute in-home session where you learn the techniques of belly wrapping, the reasons behind belly wrapping, and self-care techniques to complement your wrapping practice.
Gentle compression of the pelvis and abdomen is a practice found in postpartum care traditions all over the world. This practice feels great, and when done correctly, can help heal and prevent abdominal and pelvic dysfunction common to the postpartum time such as diastasis recti, prolapse, back pain, and incontinence. Holistic belly care is greatly beneficial to whole-body health not just after giving birth, but throughout your lifetime.
I will arrive at your home with supplies for a pelvic steam and/or an herbal bath (your choice), herbal belly care, and a cloth belly wrap. After you’ve enjoyed your bath or steam, your herbal belly treatment, and being wrapped, I will leave you with the skills, information, and supplies you need to continue this healing practice on your own.
This service includes a bottle of handmade herbal belly oil and a cotton belly wrap for you to keep.
Motherhood Journey Memoir Creation
Your story is sacred. In a series of listening sessions, I capture the stories of your pregnancy, birth, and/or postpartum to create a beautifully bound, heirloom quality keepsake book. This offering is a flexible co-creation in which we can showcase all three acts of your journey into motherhood, or bring sacred focus to just one. It also holds the option to partner with a professional photographer. Your memoir will be created in your own voice, with your own words, and I will help you find the narrative, meaning, and arc that gives it wholeness.
Contact me for custom package pricing.
Closing of the Bones Session - $225
A two-hour in-home session where you receive a gentle and relaxing treatment.
We call this ritual “Closing of the Bones” after the Mexican tradition, but it has many names and iterations which manifest across the world. In this sacred healing modality, myself and a helper use lengths of woven cloth to gently wrap your body from head to toe, delivering a gentle, squeezing hug that feels delicious and reminds the bones where they are supposed to be. This loving touch delivers a message to your nervous system that all is well, and calls the expansive energy of pregnancy back into the center of the body.
This is a beautiful way to end the postpartum time, but the benefits can be received at any time after becoming a mother; even years later. If you feel a craving for this swaddling in your body, that is a sign that the closing is still appropriate for you.
Trust your intuition.
