Meraki Mama Collective

So much gratitude to my sweet friend, sister and doula client Soraya Farivar for loving on me and celebrating my birthday after prenatal yoga last night!

This Virgo Mama feels loved, and I’m so grateful to be holding these spaces where we show up and celebrate each other, practice together, and support each other’s journeys.

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are natural physiological processes for the human body and mammals, not a medical emergency.

It is our society, lost practices, and a lack of respect for nature that creates unsupportive and dangerous conditions for our birthing experiences.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by information and how to “do it right,” take a deep breath, open your jaw and let out a big sigh.

Your pregnancy is not a problem to be solved, but a wonder of creation and expansion.

My love, it’s time to lean into your aversion to asking for help and delegating tasks. Your independence will not serve you in the postpartum period, it will deplete you.

I’ve seen lately lots of hacks to navigate the newborn period by dividing jobs amongst the birthing person and their partner.

And as clever as it sounds, the fatigue and heightened nervous system will catch up. The adrenaline rush will turn to exhaustion, and confidence can turn into depletion.

Protecting your health and your marriage/partnership will require a village. If your family is too far, difficult dynamics, or unwilling to help, I can’t encourage you enough to hire a postpartum doula to care for you and your home.

Services include:
• meal preparation
• listening as you process this big transformation
• light household chores
• organizing and creating systems of the home
• supporting newborn care
• herbal practices for healing
• and helping you get the resources you need in real time

If you’re ready to return to our ancestral practices and plan for a supported postpartum journey, click the link in my bio to book a consultation or learn about my services.

PS I offer both in person and virtual services, and I can help you find ways to get your care covered!
