Oh, sweet baby girl. My time with you and your family is up but I will forever hold a special place in my heart for you all. You are in such good hands with your amazing mommy, daddy, and big sisters. You have made me fall in love with my job all over again. Loving you and helping your family through this intimate postpartum time has been such an honor! Hoping to see you again soon!

Love,
Your postpartum Doula 💖

Also, I just have to say how proud I am of this mama. She knew exactly what she wanted her first weeks of postpartum to look like. She set boundaries, she reached out for help, and she took nourishing her body seriously. She built a village around her and she will forever reap the benefits of having support during her postpartum. ❤️

When I started my journey as a postpartum doula, it very quickly became clear to me how important nutrition is for the healing process. I found The Food Doula's program and dove in! She was such a wealth of knowledge and fun!

I am now certified in prenatal and postnatal nutrition! I also took her infant nutrition add on and learned so much about how what we eat postpartum can effect our breast milk and baby.

I will soon be adding my postpartum specific, nutrient dense menus to my doula packages. I can't wait to nourish these mamas to help them heal and replenish their postpartum bodies that have just been through so much. ❤️

I will never stop educating myself on ways to help mothers after the give birth. It's truly a passion of mine. There have been a lot of fun things happening in my doula corner over here and this is one of them! I am officially a certified traditional Bengkung belly binding specialist! Part of the new services I will be offering in 2023. Stay tuned. ❤️

As a new mama you will probably find yourself making comparisons. It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing you or your baby to other moms and babies. In a world that's social media driven and striving for perfectionism, it's hard not to.

Please know, you are enough just the way you are and all your baby needs is you. Do what works best for you and your family and forget the rest.

We nourish postpartum mothers to help them heal. This is a crucial part of postpartum recovery. We can't skip this step without repercussions down the road.

Plan for postpartum. Who can you delegate this task to? Your partner? Family? Friends? Postpartum doula? Someone needs to make sure mom is being nourished well.

Did you fuel your body this morning? I'm practicing what I preach to my clients.

I'm starting my morning off with cacao chia pudding layered with strawberries, pecans, and shredded coconut.

It's takes 2 minutes to make chia pudding. Put in your fridge over night and voilà, you have multiple servings for breakfast or a snack whenever you need. Layer it with your favorite fruits, nuts, or whatever topping you like.

Chia seeds are rich in fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and micronutrients. 🙌

Give your body some food love today. ❤️
