If you want to speed recovery of your abdominal muscles, support your posture for breastfeeding, or just pamper your postpartum body and find emotional closure after pregnancy and labor, consider Bengkung belly binding! ⁠
⁠
This Malaysian tradition uses long, beautifully hand-dyed cotton or muslin wraps to bind your abdomen and hips as you recover from birth. ⁠
⁠
Unlike Western-style belly bands, the Bengkung wrap can be loosened or tightened to custom fit your body as it changes during the recovery process and is both supportive and flexible.⁠
⁠
The simple act of taking ten minutes a day to wrap your body and do something exclusively for yourself when you are doing so much for the baby can bring great emotional benefit as well physical healing.

Sit back, relax (with new baby!), and let me take care of your nutrition.⁠
⁠
I know how challenging it can be to navigate diaper changes, feedings, laundry, and more. ⁠I am here to make sure you get fed, and can also help around the house and assist with your precious baby so you can care for yourself.

I think every new parent has had that moment: staring at a muslin blanket on night one and wishing the nurse was there to work their magic. While I wear many hats as a doula, providing that "expert swaddle" peace of mind is one of my favorite ways to step in and help a tired parent breathe.

"I knew one of my biggest struggles postpartum would be meals, and this service sounded perfect. Everything was healthy and made to easily preheat, and I didn’t have to worry about what I was putting in my body." ⁠
- Michaela, postpartum meal prep client⁠

If you could choose one meal — breakfast, lunch, or dinner — to be fully prepared and ready to reheat every day, which would it be?

I live for the raw, honest conversations that happen in the postpartum space. It is a privilege to sit with families in the middle of the mess and the magic.

If I can provide a listening ear and a chance for you to finish a hot cup of coffee, then I know I’m doing my job right.

If you’re planning for a water birth at home, the last thing you need to worry about is hunting down a missing part or figuring out how to drain the tub when you’re finished and have a newborn and yourself to take care of!

When you rent a birth tub from Puget Sound Birth, I’ll take care of everything from delivery and setup to draining and disassembly.

I believe the transition into postpartum deserves as much preparation as the birth itself. In my work as a doula, I have found that one of the most practical ways to support a healing body is by ensuring nutrient-dense snacks are always within arm's reach.

It is very common for pregnant persons to become nutritionally imbalanced or deficient. The little human that you are growing inside is getting all of the nutrients, which means you might not get the essential vitamins and minerals you need for your postpartum experience. If you plan to breastfeed, that nutritional deficit is likely to get worse.

You know you need to eat well when pregnant or nursing. But how do you know which foods will support your postpartum recovery and lactation journey?

And who has time to plan meals, find recipes, shop, chop, and cook every day? Especially with a new baby in the family?!

I’m Christina Mensah, your postpartum personal chef, and that’s what I can do for you!

Got questions? I've got answers! Here are some of the questions I'm asked about my postpartum meal prep service, Nourish You:

"My kitchen is a mess."
Don't worry about it. Just clear the counters and have dishes out of the sink before I arrive. That's all I need!

"We don't have fancy cookware."
I bring my own knives and prep tools. Basic pots and pans are more than enough.

"We're on a tight grocery budget."
I'll plan the menu around it, and I can shop at whatever store works best for you.

"How much food does this actually cover?"
A full week of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners...prepped, portioned, and ready to reheat.

Don't see your question? Message me and I'll be happy to reply!

"She came by quickly to collect the placenta and delivered the capsules the minute I got home...with a lovely bunch of flowers."
Clare, placenta encapsulation client

This is exactly the kind of care I'm here to provide. Placenta encapsulation is about making sure YOU are supported in those raw, early postpartum days. Your placenta worked hard for your baby for 9 months. Let it work for you a little longer!

DM me to chat about placenta services. I love answering all your questions, no matter how many you have! 🌿

One of the most meaningful things you can do for a mother is make sure she has a warm meal waiting for her.

If there is a new family in your life, consider gifting them a custom postpartum meal plan. It is practical, it is personal, and it says that you see her and you are showing up for her.

DM me or visit my website to learn about gifting options.

This photo says everything. A nourishing meal. A warm drink. And a little reminder of why this stage matters so much.

As a postpartum doula, I show up so that you can sit down.

You deserve to be fed, supported, and seen. Message me to learn how I can be there for your family before and after birth!
