Postpartum Care

On the other side of birth, a new mother or birthing person is just as vulnerable and raw as the child who is getting to know life outside the womb for the first time. Learning how to care for your baby requires the fullness of your heart and your attention, so every bit of support you accept gives you more space to bond, rest, and root into your new role.

The MOTSY postpartum experience is not about doing postpartum “right,” but rather about creating an experience that is handmade and deeply personal. This season of care can be shaped by your values, desires, intuition, and what makes you feel most safe and held. My role as your postpartum doula is to bring steadiness, insight, and deep respect as you navigate the unfolding of new parenthood.

01
Nourishment

Food is more than sustenance. It is ceremony, comfort, and cellular repair. Warm and nutritious meals will help replenish lost nutrients, increase circulation, and, if breastfeeding, encourage an abundant milk supply. Each meal is prepared with Ayurvedic-inspired principles and will support your body in healing, adapting, and caring for your baby. Warm soups, sipping broths, slow-cooked meats, and creamy porridges are always in regular rotation.

02
Lactation and Feeding

Feeding your baby is a learning process for everyone involved. Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or combining the two, you’ll receive steady, evidence-based support that’s centered around your goals. Care is focused on helping you feel informed, confident, and connected as you find what works best for your family. The “right way” to feed your baby is the way that feels sustainable and supportive for you and your family.

03
Ritual and Ceremony

Rituals in the early postpartum space serve more than one purpose. Some are rooted in gentle practices that aid physical healing like herbal sitz baths and belly wrapping, which promote warmth, circulation and pelvic recovery. Others such as light massage are offered as quiet ceremonies to slow down, reconnect to yourself and create space for integration.

04
Postpartum and Infant Education

There’s so much to learn in the early weeks about both you and your baby. This portion of the program is about helping you feel informed, confident, and supported. We might explore postpartum recovery, diapering, soothing, infant bathing, baby-wearing techniques, getting comfortable with your first outings, or navigating the emotional shifts of this season. The focus is on building your confidence and helping you tune in to what feels right for you and your baby.
