My in-home care services include freshly prepared postpartum specific foods, herbal preparations and teas to support optimal digestion, lactation and rejuvenation.

I prepare and provide massage oils, herbal baths, sitz baths and facilitate vaginal steaming. I am able to support you in ways that are most helpful for your family during this precious and beautiful time in your families journey. Compassionate companionship, breastfeeding support/referrals, cloth diapering support, light housekeeping, product recommendations etc. are provided as needed to create a comfortable and easeful postpartum experience. I received my certification through The Center for Sacred Window Studies as an Ayurvedic Postpartum Caregiver in 2020. Certification as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor through The National Ayurvedic Medical Association in 2014.
