Offerings
Nourishment is one of my Super Powers. I love doing this work and I feel honored to support new families through the transformative time of welcoming a new family member into their lives. I believe this work is necessary, important, and vital to supporting health and wellbeing for birthers/Mamas, our families, and ultimately the world and our future. As such I want this work to be available to all families or at least the tools of nourishing postpartum support for families to implement in their postpartum time. I offer a variety of services to meet the needs of different financial spectrums and I am open to talking about creative exchange programs where we each are able to receive appropriate services or compensation to ensure this work is sustainable. As such I also offer payment plans for Postpartum packages. I believe all people should have access to Doula support before, during, and after birth, so please inquire to discuss creative options.
Labor doula services:
I am currently not taking labor doula clients due to being a breastfeeding mama myself. At some point I do hope to return to supporting families through labor and birth. Please check out The Nest’s website for the practicing doulas available in Nevada County.

- Closing of the Bones Ceremony 3 hour session, a nourishing ceremony to honor the rite of passage of birth and motherhood as well as the physical healing needed to reintegrate into society. This session may occur anytime after the first 3 days postpartum unless birth circumstances call for this process to be done later. This ceremony is tailored to the birther but typically begins with intention setting, clearing of space, sitting for tea, followed by an Ayurvedic Massage with either a full body steam or a Yoni Steam and then a guided relaxation during the closing of the bones ceremony with a rebozo (woven long cloth) to support integration of the physical, emotional, and spiritual gates of the body that are left open through the process of labor, birth, and postpartum. The final step of the ceremony is the sharing of a nourishing treat and special tea as you integrate back into your space. sliding scale $250-300
