Pregnancy through the fourth trimester, held with the same hands. Education, advocacy, herbal preparation, and the rituals that have honored mothers for generations.
A holistic doula relationship is not a service that ends at the threshold of the birth room. It begins in early pregnancy with the slow work of learning your story, your fears, your hopes, and your body. It continues through birth as continuous labor support and advocacy. And it stays with you in the postpartum — through the herbal care, the rituals, and the quiet visits that help a new family find its rhythm.
I work with a small number of families at a time. The package is built around you — your birth desires, your venue (hospital or home), your culture, your support network, and your nervous system.
We begin with an unhurried discovery conversation, then move into the foundation work: clarifying your birth desires, mapping your support network, and building a birth plan that holds your values at its center.
Trimester-specific education and a custom set of herbal preparations for the season you're in. The goal is to enter the birth room with knowledge in your body, not just in your head.
From early labor onward, I'm with you. Hospital, birth center, or home — I advocate, comfort, and hold space, amplifying your voice every step of the way.
The fourth trimester is held with home visits, herbal care, recovery support, and the sacred closing of the season with a Closing of the Bones ceremony.
Plants have been the companions of birthing women since the beginning of time. The following offerings are woven throughout your care — customized to your needs, your constitution, and where you are in your journey.
A gentle, ancient practice in which a woman sits over a warm herbal steam. During labor, it supports softening and opening of tissues. Postpartum, it supports healing of the womb and perineal tissues, reduces inflammation, and invites the body to release and restore.
A warm herbal soak for the perineum and lower body, used after birth to soothe, heal, and reduce swelling of tender tissues. Simple, effective, and deeply comforting.
A gentle herbal rinse used after birth to cleanse and support healing of perineal tissues with each bathroom visit — turning a routine moment into a small act of care.
Postpartum pads infused with cooling, healing herbs — offering immediate soothing relief to tender tissues in the days following birth. A simple gift that makes a real difference.
A nourishing herbal blend crafted to support the pregnant body through each trimester — rich in vitamins, minerals, and plant allies that support tone, circulation, and vitality.
A mineral-rich herbal drink prepared for labor, packed with electrolytes to keep mama hydrated, energized, and supported through the intensity of birth.
Herbal formulas crafted to support healthy milk supply, ease engorgement, and nourish the nursing mother through the demands of breastfeeding.
Carefully formulated tinctures to support uterine healing, reduce inflammation, ease after-birth cramping, and restore balance in the early postpartum weeks.
Calming, nervine herbal blends to support emotional steadiness, ease anxiety, and nourish the nervous system during the tender and transformative fourth trimester.
Iron-rich, mineralizing herbal blends to replenish nutrients, rebuild blood, and restore vitality and strength in the postpartum body after the incredible work of birth.
Soothing, food-safe herbal salves crafted to protect and heal tender nipples during breastfeeding — gentle enough for baby, effective enough to make a real difference.
A gentle, energetic system of medicine that works with the body's own healing intelligence. Safe and effective through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Drawing from the ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic medicine, these formulas support postpartum restoration — warming, grounding, and rebuilding the mother from the inside out.
Rooted in the tradition of "sitting the month," these warming, mineral-rich broths nourish the blood, restore Qi, and support deep recovery and replenishment after birth.
Every mother is different, and every pregnancy tells its own story. Your herbal care package is crafted specifically for you — drawing from the full range of offerings above and adapted to your unique needs. We create your package together.
It is not my privilege to know your destiny. It is not my privilege to know the medicine that you need for your transformation into motherhood.— Whapio from The Matrona, Kelli's holistic doula teacher
