Innate Traditions
Postpartum Care
Certified Innate Traditions Postpartum Care Provider. Cultures from every part of the globe recognize that properly caring for a new mother in the first 6 weeks, known as the 4th trimester, is ESSENTIAL and not a luxury.
Book a Discovery CallAfter birthing, we have a “golden opportunity” to increase our health and vitality. However, American culture does not prioritize postpartum care, which leads new mothers feeling overwhelmed, depleted and exhausted.
In Western society, when we hear the word “postpartum”, we often misinterpret it with negative associations and pathology, linking the term to peri-natal mood disorders like “depression”.
On the contrary, "postpartum" is any time after you have had a pregnancy and is lifelong. One does not cease to stop needing support after the fourth trimester, or after the first year or even after the first 3 years.
My work ensures you will be supported in every way to safeguard you and
your family’s blossoming. In developing my approach, I combine 20 years as a professional in the Healing Arts and 13 years as a Certified Early Childhood Teacher, specializing in holistic child development, with 5 years as a Certified Postpartum and Ayurvedic Practitioner with over 350 hrs of training/mentorship.
As an Innate Traditions Postpartum Care Practitioner, I am trained to nurture and educate you far beyond the role of a traditional doula, to support the mother/baby’s physiologic, psychologic and spiritual needs. My teacher Rachel Garcia Seliga is a brilliant force on this earth. Please enjoy her wisdom and resources: https://www.innatetraditions.com/
