POSTPARTUM IS A SEASON
The postpartum period marks a profound transition in a woman's life. The weeks following birth are a time of vulnerability, introspection, and renewal, where mother’s body and spirit are tender yet most powerful. It’s a period where traditions of care and support, passed down from generation to generation recognize the importance of nurturing the mother as she nurtures her baby. In honoring the sacredness of the postpartum period, we acknowledge the immense strength and beauty in the process of bringing new life into the world and the need for a gentle, supportive environment to foster both healing and growth. As a certified Full Spectrum Doula and Certified Newborn Care Specialist I offer comprehensive Postpartum Support to new mamas and families.

“Meghan was absolutely vital in helping me recover from birth and have a smooth transition to motherhood! She is a master of using foods and herbs as medicine and helped me stay fed and hydrated with foods and teas that nourished my postpartum body and helped establish a strong milk supply. She also help me navigate some of the typical road bumps of adjusting to nursing and life with a little one. Motherhood is a huge transition and Meghan was really tuned into my emotional needs as well, which really helped to ease into this new phase of life. By the end of 6 weeks together I felt completely recovered and ready to jump back into real life! She really knew how to care for me so that I could care for my baby and establish a strong bond with him. I cannot recommend her highly enough—do yourself and your growing family a favor and hire her!! You will not regret it!”

“Working with Meghan has been a wonderful experience. She helped me heal and recover after experiencing miscarriages. She also provides me with custom herbal teas that I am obsessed with and can’t live with out! having PCOS, her tea blends help me tremendously with the cramping and other symptoms. I have tried many PMS pills to get through the day but nothing has worked like her herbal tea blend!
I believed for so long that all women have to suffer through awful periods but she taught me many holistic ways to help heal myself, Which I knew nothing about!
I couldn’t believe the difference, we should all know this knowledge.”
