What would it look like if we treated the first month after birth a bit more like the first hour, the time we now know as the golden hour?

Across time and across cultures, the early postpartum weeks were treated as a sacred threshold — a period of bonding, rest, nourishment and tending. Mothers were not expected to bounce back; they were expected to be cared for.

The Golden Month is my offering to mothers who long to feel held, nourished and rejuvenated throughout their postpartum period. It draws upon the worldwide tradition of a 40-day rest period, as well as my years of training in traditional postpartum care.

Over the course of four weeks, I weave together herbal nourishment, traditional body work, and emotional integration, creating a container to honor your fourth trimester.

Each Session Includes

  • I prepare warming, mineral-rich, traditional beverages in your home — such as ceremonial cacao, sesame atole, and herbal infusions crafted specifically for the first forty days.

    I prep two beverages a session, and leave you enough to enjoy for the days in between our visits.

    • Herbal sitz baths

    • Mineral foot soaks

    • Gentle postpartum bodywork

    • Womb alignment/massage

    • Hip wrapping

    • Rebozo support

    • Castor Oil Packs

    I draw upon my years of body work experience and training in traditional postpartum care to tend to your body each session.

  • I make space for you to be witnessed, held, and listened to. We make space for your birth story, and for all the parts of motherhood.

    I draw upon traditional storytelling, myth and metaphor to help you make sense of your story as an initiation.

The Golden Month is offered as a complete 4-visit series. It may compliment or replace other postpartum doula offerings.
