Mothering the Mother
We envision a world where every new mother is nurtured, cherished, and empowered during her postpartum journey, because when a new mother is supported her baby is supported. People often think of postpartum as being a 6-week window, but really, it’s forever, so setting yourself up to thrive after childbirth is setting yourself up to thrive for a lifetime.
As mothers ourselves, we intimately understand the transformative power of motherhood. Our own postpartum journeys have inspired us to join forces and create a haven of compassion and wisdom for families entering this precious phase.
The fourth trimester is a unique and tender time that deserves utmost care and attention. We believe postpartum planning and nurturing mother care is the key to a positive and fulfilling experience. Our holistic approach encompasses nourishing meals, gentle body care, community support, and essential rest.
About Lauren
As a mother of two beautiful children, I intimately understand the joys and challenges that come with the postpartum period. My own journey inspired me to become a passionate advocate for mothers, providing them with the support and care they truly deserve during this tender time. My journey into postpartum care has been enriched by the wisdom of ancient traditions, including Ayurvedic practices and other nurturing techniques. I bring this knowledge into my doula practice to offer you a holistic experience that enhances your postpartum healing and rejuvenation. I am honored to be a part of your postpartum experience, and I look forward to helping you create a nurturing space where you can thrive as a mother.
When I'm not supporting new mothers, you can find me gardening, having a dance party with my little ones, or trying to sneak in a few pages of the latest book I’m reading.
About Nicole
Wow! Knowing that you’re here, learning about the deeply enriching potential of postpartum time, is a dream come true. Seriously. I have been steering myself to this place since the day my first child was born, when I was tossed, like many others, into motherhood without much of a blueprint or guide to carry me through it. There was so much I wished someone could have told me beforehand, but on the flip-side, nothing has ever taught me more in this life than raising a family with my husband. In pursuit of understanding birth and motherhood more fully, I made a career shift and began to study as a birth doula and Ayurvedic postpartum caregiver. My eyes were opened. My goal is to share what I’ve learned as a doula and mother for those seeking a gentle guide through the transformation into motherhood.
What I bring to new mothers is influenced by my background in yoga, Ayurveda, and anthropology. I incorporate traditional wisdom based in women’s physiologic design to nurture, nourish, and support postpartum mothers.
About Angelique
As a mother of four beautiful children, capturing birth and postpartum stories through film and photography and providing postpartum ceremonies holds a special place in my heart. My motherhood journey has taken me from experiencing postpartum depression and not dealing with it for many years to healing my postpartum depression and finding so much beauty and awareness along the way.
When I'm not supporting new mothers, you can find me homeschooling, reading, creating art and doing handwork with my kids and teaching students in our local homeschool community.
“ My postpartum time was a moment that I will forever cherish and was honestly a time of healing I never knew I needed or existed. Expecting my fourth and final baby the peace and support that Lauren and Nicole held for me in my home was so incredibly healing and such a nurturing experience. I will forever be thankful for their support.”
