This August, I’m bringing the INNATE Postpartum Care - Preparing for the Fourth Trimester Course course to Phoenix AZ, and I am so excited to host it in an intimate, nourishing setting.

Every Tuesday from August 4 through September 1, 5:30 to 7:30pm, we’ll gather for five evenings of real postpartum preparation. A home cooked or catered meal will be waiting for you when you arrive, or you’re welcome to bring your own.

This course is designed for pregnant couples who will be 20 to 35 weeks along in August, but any pregnant couple is welcome. You’ll leave with a genuine understanding of what physiologic postpartum care looks like, what your baby actually needs in the fourth trimester, and how to build the kind of support around you that makes recovery possible.

You can also bring the people who will be in your postpartum care team, whether that’s a grandparent, a close friend, or a sibling. The more your village understands this, the better.

Investment:
• $400 per couple
• $175 per additional guest (family members or care team members welcome)

Location is being finalized and will be shared soon. Spots will be limited to keep this small and intentional.

Drop a 🌙 below if you’re interested, or send me a DM to save your spot.

After two years of deep study and thousands of hours of hands on experience, I am proud to share that I am now certified as an Innate Postpartum Care Practitioner, Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula & Care Specialist, and Newborn Care Specialist.

These credentials sit alongside my existing certifications as a Postpartum Doula and Sleep Coach, and together reflect my deeply held belief that the care of mothers and babies cannot be separated.

The path here was not linear. I moved from birth work to Ayurvedic postpartum care to overnight newborn support to sleep coaching, and there were seasons where I wondered if I was moving in too many directions at once. What I now understand is that each of these are pieces of a larger picture. A mother’s nervous system, nourishment, rest, and connection to her baby are directly tied to baby’s nervous system, nourishment, rest, and connection.

My offerings will continue to evolve with my season of life, but the heart of my work will always hold all of it.

I will forever be a student, always learning and expanding through experiences. And as I continue to learn, I hope to share this with families too. Everyone deserves to experience the life changing feeling of putting words to what feels so intuitively right.

Deepest gratitude to my teachers for showing me not only how to care for families, but how to ask better questions, seek deeper knowledge, live in integrity, and move forward in alignment.

You have shifted the way I see this work, and I will continue to carry that forward.

The newborn phase is full of frequent wakes, which is normal and protective.

Many parents will try to stretch the time between feedings to get more rest, which can work at times. Especially if the wakings are due to needing comfort or a change.

But if a baby is hungry, there’s not much you can do to change that other than feed!

It’s okay to respond to their feeding cues, while still setting up a sleep-supporting environment to gradually increase rest as they mature.

New parents hears this question constantly, and it does more harm than people realize.

Babies are neurologically wired to wake frequently. Night waking supports brain development, regulates their nervous system, and keeps them close to their
primary caregiver, exactly where they belong.

When we ask “is your baby sleeping through the night yet”, we’re planting a seed of doubt in a parent who’s already exhausted and second-guessing everything. The better question is, “How are you doing?”

Comment if someone has asked you if your baby is sleeping through the night yet.

Part One of Ayurvedic Sleep Tips!

Ayurvedic baby care has one thing in common across many practices: warmth. Warm oil, warm water, warm touch. There’s a reason for that. These all support rest without even touching the routine or sleep setup (which can also make a huge difference).

Many parents are encouraged to track numbers, sometimes at the expense of tuning into their baby.

Some babies over 6 months naturally fall in the 10-11 hour range, and that can still be healthy and normal. When babies aren’t truly tired, trying to force sleep can actually lead to more night disruptions. It’s okay to follow your baby’s cues and your intuition.

Many “sleep issues” are actually a sign of something deeper going on.

That’s why my approach starts with observation, not sleep plans. We look at feeding patterns, nervous system regulation, family rhythms, and developmental windows before we ever talk about sleep. Because when we support the whole baby and the whole family, sleep often improves naturally.

Chamomile tea has been used for centuries as a calming, relaxing herb and there’s a reason it’s stood the test of time.

Pouring yourself a big warm mug in the evening is one of the simplest ways to tell your nervous system the day is winding down. Your nervous system and your baby’s are still deeply connected. When you’re regulated, they feel it.

Bedtime becomes less of a battle and more of a transition when mama has had even five minutes to regulate first.

This is the kind of gentle, intentional support I love weaving into responsive sleep coaching. Without sleep training, we work with your body and your baby instead of against them. Save this for tonight and let me know how it goes!

This little girl grew up to become a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and sleep coach who actually believes your instincts are right.

Now she takes the night shifts, helps exhausted parents understand their baby’s sleep without abandoning everything that feels true to them, and holds space for mothers the way she always believed they deserved to be held.

If you’re looking for support that meets you where you are, you’re in the right place.

Unpopular opinion: picking up your baby when they cry is not ruining their sleep. The pressure to put babies down, soothe them less, and teach them “independence” at 6 weeks old is not rooted in infant biology. It’s rooted in a culture that was never designed to support mothers.

Your instincts exist for a reason. You are allowed to follow them.

Babies don’t need much more than a regulated mother and safe environment. Clothes, diapers, and other essentials can be thrifted, traded, or donated. And we don’t need to buy the fanciest bedside bassinet, stroller, or changing table.

So what if, instead of a traditional baby shower stacked with things you may never use, you gathered your people for something that actually supports you postpartum?

A postpartum meal prep/nesting party. Invite your closest friends over to batch cook your first six weeks of meals together, or have each person bring a bulk meal ready to freeze. Then pass around a sign-up sheet for the real support: grocery runs, a home clean, dog walks, mental health check-ins, sibling care, and someone to hold baby for 20 minutes so you can shower in peace. For anyone who can’t make it, you can ask them to donate to your birth & postpartum care fund or sign up for a support slot remotely.

This is what the village is supposed to look like. Not a pile of gifts, but people showing up in the weeks when it matters most.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ And it starts with being willing to ask for it.

Comment your favorite baby shower alternatives!
