Another sweet baby was added to our birth stats, for 2026, this week, and we finished up with another postpartum family last night.🫶

It is truly an honor to be invited into their homes, their birth space and into their postpartum healing phase, and to be able support women in this capacity, is something that is so needed, because when women are properly supported, they are educated, advocated for, they can have incredible birth experiences, thrive as a mother, their bodies heal, they can regulate their nervous system. We've seen first hand how the support of doulas, has positively impacted birth and postpartum outcomes!

Congratulations to these families, we wish you all the blessings as you move forward in your motherhood journey! We are always a phone call or text away. 🥰

𝗣𝗢𝗩: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 "𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗮", 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗰, 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗮.....

You expected someone to just come care for baby and wash bottles and maybe do baby laundry.... but what you got was....

A doula who shows up ready to pamper you with the "best massage you ever had" ( the mama's words), plus your doula makes sure you have nutritious foods prepped, your NORA tea infusion ready for the day, she did the dishes, folded laundry(everyone's laundry) cared for baby, so this mama could get the best relaxing sleep between breastfeeding sessions.... and the mama is left questioning what she did to deserve this of care and support....

Well, Nancy, ....you had a baby, that's what you did! 😂 But you didn't just have a baby.... you grew this whole baby for 9 months. You endured morning sickness, swollen hands and feet, watched your body stretch and grow until you didn't recognize it, you went through labor and/or gave birth.....That is monumental...... but NO.... you're over here just proving just how incredibly powerful your are, and feeding that baby once again from your extraordinary body..... 🥰

So, when ANYONE questions why you hired an integrative, deeply intentional doula.....this is why, Nancy. YOU absolutely deseve it. 🫶

If you're pregnant and considering hiring a postpartum doula, just know not all doulas are the same! Wild Roots Birth Collective doulas have been trained to nurture the mother, all while doing the other "typical" doula things. We have seen first hand how well our mama's thrive in postpartum with the care and the support we offer. That's why we say our care is "mama-focused"....everything we do is to help promote healing, rest, body regulation and mental stability and bonding with baby.

If this is the postpartum you want to experience, please reach out to book a consult! Having quality postpartum support, is vital to your thriving in motherhood! 🫶

Sorry, we have been so quiet lately, we have been BUSY here at Wild Roots Birth Collective ! Between caring for 3 families in postpartum, we have a mama due any day and I went and gave her a beautiful pre-labor massage, she had her space set up with her crystals, all supporting the womb and birth. Now we wait to meet baby! 🥰
I just have to laugh at the photo with Terri, because sometimes the doggies literally think that we are there just for them! 😂

Today, we were back at Parkland Health Center for another meeting to tweak our collaboration with them, and discuss more ways we can support the families in the rural areas we serve.

We are incredibly thankful to have to have this opportunity as a Doula Collective to discuss one on one with the staff at Parkland Health Center, on ways we can better support mama's, not just in birth, in pregnancy and especially postpartum.... together, is where positive change happens! 🫶

Postpartum is a time for mamas to allow others to nurture and pamper them, while they heal and bond with baby....and they 100% deserve it!

Our deeply rooted, holistic, mama-focused postpartum support is where we shine! From mental health check-ins, and daily tasks, to creating delicious meals, or meal prep, weekly postpartum massage and bodywork sessions, newborn care, breastfeeding or bottle feeding support, we've got our mama's covered!

We are now able to offer this same POSTPARTUM SUPPORT to those mama's on Medicaid, even if you didn't have a doula for birth! 🧡🧡🧡

Please reach out to learn more! Comment "POSTPARTUM" to learn more! 🫶

Today, was BUSY! We (Terri & I) were out doing postpartum visits with our new mamas, doing an in person meetup and house tour with a new mama we start postpartum with next week! Love seeing these new mama's doing so well, in the first few weeks of postpartum. Having support can make such a difference for you in postpartum! You don't have to struggle alone!
