Preparing meals for my families is therapy for me. Always with a mission to fill their bellies with nourishing and warm foods. It is rewarding, and effective to postpartum healing. I thoroughly enjoy supporting my families in various ways. Those “girl you put your foot in this food🤭” comments make my day 🤣💜 Everyone family deserves a Doula.

Postpartum Meals❤️ Both parents said, “so can we book you for our next baby now?” Of course 🤭

Providing a safe and nutritious meal to all families, to promote wellness, comfort, and to enjoy my delicious food lol because the kitchen is therapy for me. Just give me a mini tour and I’ll remember where everything is 😂🤭💞

Water Aerobics can be a great way to expend energy, take your mind off things, helps with breathing, and it puts little to no pressure on your belly or your aching muscles and joints. Exercise during pregnancy relieves: sleeplessness, swelling, backaches, bloating and constipation. We enjoyed 30 mins of movement, utilizing breathing techniques, and stretching in the water. Very enjoyable 😁

Family prenatal sessions can be fun, very educational, supportive, and comforting to the parents to be. Cervical effacement/dilation activities, historical education, evidence based knowledge, pelvic dynamics, birth ball/peanut ball exercises, rice sock creations, mock labor trials, double hip squeezes, shaking of the apples tutorials, breathing techniques, and more 🌻 by @doulasmatter
