postpartum care
Hello Mamas, I’m Alison a Northern California doula who wholeheartedly believes in the sacred power of birth!
Every postpartum journey is unique — and so is the care you deserve. My work is intuitively tailored to you and your body’s needs, offering a blend of nourishing meals, gentle bodywork, traditional practices, and compassionate presence that supports your recovery and integration after birth. Whether you’re craving warmth, embodied care, or simple nourishment, we shape this support together to match the rhythm of your transition.
The weeks after birth are a deep transition — physically, emotionally, and energetically. You deserve support that goes beyond checklists, chores, or surface-level help. My in-home 1:1 postpartum care is designed to help you rest, recover, nourish, and feel held as you settle into motherhood with presence, warmth, and intention.
my Services
Each visit is guided by your needs on the day — whether that looks like nourishment, bodywork, quiet presence, or ritual care. My role is to help you feel held, nourished, and supported as you step into this new chapter with confidence and ease.
