consultations

I aim to take care of things like an attentive grandmother so you can focus on healing, bonding, and recovery.

I provide

  • An in-person planning session sometime in the third trimester
  • Listening, encouragement, and emotional support after birth
  • Nourishing snacks (This is one of my favorite parts of the work as an eastern European and an herbalist!)
  • Help with household tasks like dishes, food prep, laundry, tidying
  • Information and referrals as needed
  • Care for baby while you rest

My background

I'm an herbalist with 12 years of experience and three years of training.  I've cared for several friends postpartum and myself have had two live births and one mid pregnancy stillbirth. I experienced, with curiosity and amazement, how my vastly different postpartum care scenarios shaped my recovery so uniquely each time.

 I have a deep personal knowledge of nutrition, pregnancy, the postpartum period, and a nourishing approach rooted in eastern European folkways.

I am not a healthcare practitioner, and our work is not a substitute for medical advice. I offer support grounded in traditional knowledge and lived experience.

For The Children by Gary Snyder

The rising hills, the slopes,
of statistics
lie before us.
the steep climb
of everything, going up,
up, as we all
go down.

In the next century
or the one beyond that,
they say,
are valleys, pastures,
we can meet there in peace
if we make it.

To climb these coming crests
one word to you, to
you and your children:

stay together
learn the flowers
go light
