3hr postpartum tending visit 

After birth, the mother is meant to be held. This offering gently returns postpartum care to its rightful focus—tending to the woman who has just brought forth life. Through nourishment, touch, warmth, and presence, we care for you so you may rest, be seen, and feel deeply supported as you step into motherhood. A slow, intentional visit devoted to meeting your needs so you are not forgotten in the care of everyone else. Here, the mother is the priority.

What’s included:

 During pregnancy

Prenatal Postpartum Planning Session 
Before your baby arrives, we meet for a dedicated prenatal session focused entirely on your postpartum recovery. Together we discuss rest, nourishment, emotional care, and practical rhythms so you feel prepared, supported, and held as you enter the early weeks after birth.

Early communication
We will keep in touch as we approach your guess date. All the updates are welcome and once your baby is born we will communicate the best time for your postpartum tending visit.

During your postpartum tending visit

Foot soaking and massage
We begin our visit by grounding the body through warmth and touch. A foot soak or gentle foot massage helps calm the nervous system, support circulation, and invite your body into rest.

Herbal tea and herbal sitz bath
We prepare warming herbal tea that nourishes your mind, milk supply, and brings you warmth. We also prepare herbal sitz bath for soothing herbal baths with antibacterial herbs that bring blood flow, healing, comfort as you heal. You can bring your baby in with you and we can help tend to them while you soak.

Warm, nourishing meal preparation
While you take your restful sitz bath your doula will prepare a simple, warming meal in your kitchen. This can be done while tending to baby. This nourishment is thoughtfully chosen to support recovery, digestion, and rest. It will be prepared for your unique family size and dietary needs. Of course, your doula will clean up after all kitchen preparations.

Gentle bodywork and healing touch
When welcomed, we offer slow, intuitive bodywork to ease tension, encourage circulation, honor your body's journey and support your body’s natural recovery after birth through a womb massage and back rub with comforting oils.  This touch is offered as comfort and support—not as medical or therapeutic treatment—and is always guided by your needs and consent.

Space to rest and share your birth story
You are offered unrushed space to lie down, rest, and—if you wish—share your birth story. This is a time to be witnessed, heard, and gently held in your transition into motherhood.

Loving care for your baby
While the heart of this care is devoted to the mother, we are present to lovingly tend to your baby as needed—allowing you to eat, bathe, sleep, or receive care without interruption.

Investment $860 

A $430 retainer reserves your place on our calendar and begins our care relationship.
