birth doula
Birth is a journey inward, a time of letting go, of remembering. I believe that birth should take place in a safe space, surrounded by trusted individuals, where instincts are honored. At birth, I am a witness, I trust the birth process, and I trust your intuition. Your body is innately wise, and you are powerful. You are the ultimate authority at your birth, and you deserve to have a positive experience where your voice is heard, your needs are met, and you feel fully supported.
TRADITIONAL Postpartum Care
Postpartum is a time of change and transition. A period of postpartum rest is essential for renewal and long-term wellness. My goal is to support you so that you can bond with your baby, heal and nourish your body, and access your intuition. Traditional cross-cultural postpartum care emphasizes rest, nourishing food, warmth, bodywork, ritual, and community involvement. Let’s talk about your postpartum vision, make a plan to thrive, and schedule weekly in-home visits to nourish you after birth.
“When we reaffirm our relationship with nature, wild and untamed, we acquire knowledge, vision, inspiration, intuition, and life itself vibrates both inside and outside of us.”
— Laura Gutman
Mother’s blessing
Mother’s blessings are a wonderful way to prepare for your upcoming birth with an intimate gathering of female friends and family members. We form a circle of support and witnesses to your birth journey, helping you prepare emotionally and spiritually for what is to come and who you are becoming.
womb steaming
Womb steaming is used for postpartum recovery and pelvic health. Beginning with a consultation, we go over your cycle history and your current symptoms and come up with a custom protocol and herbal formula. Steam every day for 30 days after giving birth or on certain days surrounding your menstrual cycle. Steaming sessions are available during postpartum visits or as a full add on to any package.
closing of the bones ceremony
A rebozo closing ceremony is a wonderful way to ease your transition into new motherhood. Pregnancy and birth is a time of expansion and opening, so during postpartum we hold and create space for the "closing” and integration of the birth experience. This ceremony is done days or years after giving birth or any time you feel called, and is also included in our postpartum care package.
the postpartum recovery box
We include a full recovery box for all of our birth and postpartum clients. Homemade herbal products for your postpartum recovery including teas, salves, sitz bath herbs and more!
hi, i’m heidi. i’m so glad you’re here.
Giving birth and becoming a mother has been a journey for me. One of the most important things I have learned is the value of community and the need for support. We need to be held and seen in order to do the same for our children.
I became a birth worker because I wanted to be there for women during transition—the most intense point before the birth of our babies and the “rebirth” of ourselves.
