Postpartum Doula Support


This is a photo of me doing a moxibustion ceremony on a mom post birth. Moxibustion is traditional Chinese medicine. This is done to help warm the birthers uterus and promote circulation.

This is a photo of me feeding a newborn at my first ever postpartum visit!

A postpartum doula is for any family that is looking for support transitioning at home. Whether it's your first baby or third, a postpartum doula can be very helpful in making the transition of having a new baby at home easier.
