Pregnancy & Doula Care
Pregnancy & Doula Care
Compassionate support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
I offer holistic care rooted in evidence-based outcomes & the traditional knowledge of our grandmothers and midwives before them, herbalism, and hands-on support to help you feel strong, grounded, and seen through every stage of this transition.
Prenatal Support
Pregnancy is a beautiful and demanding journey - physically, emotionally, and energetically. I offer individualized support to help ease common discomforts and prepare your body for birth.
Common reasons mamas come in:
- Nausea, heartburn, fatigue
- Aches and pains
- Anxiety, mood swings, or sleep issues
- Labor prep and breech positioning support
- General nourishment and wellness
Modalities I use:
- Acupuncture
- Herbal medicine and nutritional guidance
- Gentle hands-on bodywork & moxibustion
- Custom tea blends, tinctures, and capsules
Session options:
- One-time support
- Weekly or biweekly care
- Packages available for third trimester + labor prep
- Doula Packages that include Acupuncture, Herbs & Labor support
Birth Preparation
As you near the end of your pregnancy, your body begins shifting in preparation for labor. These sessions are designed to support that transition, softening tissues, calming the nervous system, and helping things move naturally.
Birth prep treatments may include:
- Acupuncture to support cervical ripening, relaxation, and positioning
- Herbal support for sleep, energy, or labor onset
- Emotional and energetic grounding as you approach birth
- Guidance for what to have on hand (herbs, sitz baths, compresses, postpartum prep)
- "Induction" Acupuncture
Postpartum Recovery
Healing doesn’t end with birth - it’s just beginning. Postpartum care is deeply nourishing and focused on helping your body recover, your hormones regulate, and your nervous system rest. Extra bonus if you bring your baby!! 😉
Support may include:
- Acupuncture for healing, milk supply, and emotional balance
- Herbal medicine for recovery, sleep, digestion, and hormonal support
- Topical treatments, steams, or baths
- Nutritional and supplement guidance
- Emotional check-ins and grounding
Placenta Encapsulation
I offer placenta encapsulation as a gentle and personalized way to support postpartum recovery. This traditional practice helps with:
- Mood stabilization
- Energy and milk production
- Hormonal rebalancing
- Nutritional replenishment
Details on preparation, pickup/drop-off, and pricing available upon request.
Mother Warming
Mother Warming is a traditional Chinese medicine practice offered during the first few days postpartum to gently restore your uterus & pelvic girdle. Using moxa (a warming herb, mugwort), this treatment supports recovery by nourishing the uterus, calming the nervous system, and helping energy return to the core. It’s simple, relaxing, and deeply restorative, especially when you're in the tender, in-between space after birth. I offer this as an in-home ceremony.
Please reach out for details.
Doula Support
If you're seeking birth doula care, I offer limited availability for in-person support during labor and holistic support throughout your pregnancy. My approach blends evidence-based advocacy, emotional presence, and herbal wisdom. If I’m not available, I’m happy to refer you to someone I trust.
Getting Started
Every stage of the journey is different - and so is the support you need. You're welcome to book a single session or reach out to plan a care package that fits your goals.
