Being a mother is HARD, especially in a society that celebrates hustle culture and extreme independence, it can feel nearly impossible for new moms to take the time and space they genuinely need to heal, recover, and learn to care for their baby. Yet, support is absolutely necessary to thrive.

One thing I hear over and over from mothers is that they needed so much more support than they ever realized they would. As a doula, my main goal is to step into that gap and support you in whatever you need:

🌱 Breastfeeding and newborn care
🌱 Preparing nutritious meals
🌱 Household support
🌱 Navigating the emotional terrain of postpartum depression and anxiety

There are so many major changes (physical, emotional, and relational) that come with giving birth. Having a non-judgmental professional there to walk you through it all helps immensely.

If you’ve experienced this journey, what kind of support made the biggest difference for you?

As a doula, I’m always looking for simple, effective ways to support new parents. And one of my favorite secrets is a nutrient-packed smoothie.

This one, in particular, is a postpartum powerhouse.

Orange Juice is a great source of Vitamin C, which is essential for wound healing and boosting your immune system. It’s also hydrating, which is key for keeping your energy up.

Coconut Milk provides healthy fats that not only give you a much-needed energy boost but are also a wonderful way to increase the nutrient density of your milk supply.

Collagen Peptides support your body's incredible healing process from the inside out. Collagen can help with skin elasticity, postpartum hair loss, and even joint pain.

A sweet, serene sigh. That tiny yawn. Every moment with your newborn is a precious, fleeting whisper.

My role is to protect this sacred time for you. While you soak in these irreplaceable moments, I'm here behind the scenes to handle that mountain of laundry, prepare a nourishing meal, or simply hold your little one so you can finally get a long, uninterrupted shower (or even a nap!).

Let me be your village so you can focus on your primary responsibility: falling deeply in love with this tiny human.

There’s nothing like the power of real, wholesome food for postpartum healing. It's the fuel you need to replenish your body after birth, regulate your hormones, and support your milk supply. But when you’re exhausted and running on a few hours of sleep, cooking might be the last thing on your mind.

The postpartum period is a time to rest and not overextend yourself. I want to make sure that's possible! When I go into a client's home, I’m not just a doula; I’m a personal chef and a nurturer for the nurturer. My postpartum meal prep services are designed to give you that time and energy back.

Let's make sure your cup is full so you can show up for yourself and your baby. 🌱

We've all heard the phrase, "It takes a village." But what if that village isn't there for a family when they need it most?

That's the reality for many underserved families right here in our Tacoma community. The postpartum period is a time when no one should have to go it alone. Every parent deserves to be held and nourished.

That’s why I started my donation fund. In the heart of the pandemic, I saw firsthand how many families were falling through the cracks, unable to access the support they desperately needed. So, I began a mission to provide essential services like postpartum doula support and meal prep to those who couldn't otherwise afford it.

Your donation isn't just a transaction. It's a lifeline. It’s the difference between a new parent feeling isolated and them feeling seen, supported, and strong. Every dollar you contribute goes directly toward a family in need, helping them heal and thrive.

Join me in building a village for our community, one family at a time.

As the weather cools down, it's time to embrace Soup Season! A warm bowl of homemade soup is the ultimate postpartum food. Why?

Hydration & Healing: Soups are mostly liquid, which is essential for hydration and supporting your milk supply. Plus, that rich, slow-simmered broth is packed with easy-to-digest nutrients that support tissue repair.

Effortless Nutrition: There is nothing easier than reheating a bowl of soup when you have a newborn attached to you. It requires minimal effort (and perhaps no utensils if you can sip it!).

Warming & Comforting: In traditional medicine, postpartum bodies thrive on warm, soft, easily digested foods. Soup is the original comfort food designed for recovery.

Start batch-cooking and freezing soups now! Label them clearly and stash them away. Trust me, finding a homemade lentil or chicken noodle soup waiting for you in those early weeks is the best gift you can give yourself. (Or, let me help you with that!)

What's your favorite soup to freeze? Share your go-to below.

One minute you're soaking up every precious moment, the next you're staring at a mountain of laundry, feeling overwhelmed by spit-up stains and tiny socks. I know those little messes can feel like a major hurdle when you're running on hardly any sleep.

You deserve to have a moment to yourself, to take a warm shower, drink your coffee while it's still hot, or simply sit without holding anything. That's why I'm here. I want to help lighten your load, both literally and figuratively. In addition to caring for you and your little one, I'll help with light chores like the laundry, dishes, or whatever else you need so you can focus on yourself and bonding with baby.

Want postpartum personal chef services but your kitchen is a mess? Don’t worry about the state of your kitchen!

I never judge. I’ve cooked in tiny New York and Boston apartments without any problems. All I ask is you provide a clear counter area and an empty sink and I'm golden. 💛
