Recover, R.E.S.T., Reset.
In-Person Support
Most of our culture lacks a true plan for postpartum recovery. That’s why at Simply Postpartum I want to change postpartum culture for good! Many new moms go home with some meals in the freezer and promises of friends and family to help when they can. I want to change that! You need consistent support and you need a plan that walks you through your recovery every step of the way.
The type of support I offer is unique in that it is a framework I call R.E.S.T.

The postpartum period is a whirlwind of emotions and changes. After the arrival of your little one, you’ll likely experience significant hormonal shifts, physical discomfort from healing, and the new challenge of caring for a baby who demands constant attention. My support will provide you nourishing meals, physical recovery support and emotional space to process everything you are going through. Think of it as your “favorite aunt” coming to help who know just what to do!
It’s no surprise that these changes can weigh heavily on a new parent's mental health. In fact, about 1 in 7 new parents may face postpartum anxiety or depression. That’s why I prioritize mental well-being during this time. I’m here to check in on you and your partner, creating a safe space for you to share your feelings—whether you're riding high on joy one moment or feeling overwhelmed the next. It’s completely normal to experience a mix of emotions! My support is judgment-free; there’s no right or wrong way to feel. If you need extra mental health resources, I'm here to share information about therapy and support groups that can help.

This new parenting adventure comes with a ton of questions: How do I change a diaper? What’s the best way to give my baby a bath? How do I use my breast pump? No question is too small or silly. I will provide the latest evidence-based information so you can make informed decisions as a parent. We will even establish family systems as you need to help you feel more organized and in control as you move from the postpartum period back to life in the real world! Even if you’ve done this before, every baby comes with its unique quirks and demands, so don’t hesitate to ask anything. We’re in this together!

We’ve all heard the saying, “sleep like a baby,” but trust me, no adult truly wants that! Babies often sleep in cycles of just 1-2 hours, meaning they wake up frequently for feedings and diaper changes. The first three months can be especially tough as you adjust to this reality, often leaving new parents exhausted. That’s where my night doula support comes in. We will figure out a plan that allows you to maximize your sleep—whether I take on complete overnight care or work around your feeding schedule. Plus, I’ll provide tips on your baby’s sleep needs to help you and your little one rest better.

With my in-person day support, I will guide you through my R.E.S.T Framework. Each shift I will check in with you to see what your priorities are, where I can fill in gaps and be sure you are nourished and well cared for and set you up for future success.
Support that’s an investment in yourself and your family.
