Hi friends!

I am blessed enough to have a full schedule until August of 2026 and then will be taking some time off to rejuvenate myself and revamp the business! At this time I will not be accepting any further clients for 2026. I will post here when I decide to reopen bookings! Please ask if you need recommendations for other PPDs in the area.

If you have a current contract or in-home consultation set up, then that remains. I really look forward to working with you all. If you have any questions at all. Please reach out to me!!

Many people ask what an overnight shift looks like. Every family is different, but here are the basics! Would this be beneficial to you and your family? Any questions?

What type of postpartum goodies do you enjoy or love to gift? These items may not be everyone's cup of tea, but here are a few of their benefits to keep food as your recovery medicine!

🦴Bone broth. Full of proteins like collagen, as well as amino acids and electrolytes. It can improve gut health and tissue repair!

🥣Lentil soup. Lentils are full of fiber, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants. This soup combines them with iron rich leafy greens and protein/vitamin dense quinoa! Warmth is also a key element for postpartum body recovery because so much warmth is lost through delivery.

💚Seaweed. An excellent source of iodine, antioxidants and vitamins. Iodine can be a tricky mineral to get but its crucial in thyroid function. 1 out of 12 woman will experience postpartum thyroiditis which has symptoms of anxiety, palpitations, hair loss and depression.

🐟Sardines. Maybe not a crowd favorite lol. These little powerhouses have an abundance of Omega-3 fats that aid against inflammation. As well as protein, iron, selenium and calcium.

On the more delicious side. We've got chocolate cherry granola power balls and date pumpkin molasses muffins!

Tell me your go to recovery meal/snack!

Village Hands takes on South Carolina! Had the privilege of being a postpartum doula for one of my dearest friends the first 2 weeks of September. Their little one made entry to the world 4 months earlier than expected as a micropremie and he fought so hard the whole time. Got to go home the week of his due date!! It was a pleasure watching them take on the new step of having baby boy at home and I felt special to be apart of that transition. The human spirit, human body and science are such amazing things and I look forward to watching them grow as a family!

So thankful to be able to say I am booked for the remainder of 2025. I apologize that I can not accept anymore clients as this time. I would still love to help with any resources or direct you to other postpartum doulas, so feel free to reach out. See you in 2026!
