Postpartum Care
Postpartum care prioritizes mothering the mother. As your doula and postpartum tender, I will visit you regularly at home to hold and nurture you with nourishing food, emotional support, herbal and traditional healing practices, and warmth during this very special and tender time so that you can focus on rest, healing, bonding, and settling peacefully into your new role.
“You birthed a baby, and you birthed yourself into a new phase of life. There is no more pronounced shift in body, mind, and spirit […]”
Kimberly Ann Johnson
Since personal needs in the postpartum period are difficult to predict, my offerings can be flexibly arranged - you decide on the focus of the meetings and the type of support you need and want. I am happy to support you with:
Nourishing Food
I will prepare healthy postpartum meals such as homemade congeés, stews, soups, and healthy snacks for you. All ingredients and meals support your body's natural healing and breastfeeding processes. I can also assist with pre-cooking and planning.
Relaxation & Bonding
We will soothe and reset your nervous system, giving it some extra love through soft touch and rebozo massages or sobadas. I can also gently guide you through some extra bonding moments with your little one with baby massage techniques or healing baths.
Healing & Integrating
Every birth holds medicine. I will listen and hold a nonjudgmental space for you to debrief your birth experience and share your emotions. To gently support your body’s healing process, I also offer belly binding with Andean fajas, herbal baths/infusions, and yoni steaming.
Support & Resources
I can support and provide you with information on everything around baby care, feeding, bonding, and parenthood. Whether you have questions, want to get professional insight, or want to share and bounce ideas off - I am here to hold space for your role-finding process.

Testimonial One
“I cannot thank Clara enough for the care and support she provided during our early weeks. Her nourishing meals, soothing herbal baths, and help with early breastfeeding were invaluable. The massage she gave me was heavenly, leaving me feeling pampered and relaxed. Clara’s postpartum care made a significant positive impact on my recovery and overall well-being. I genuinely hope every new mother can experience the care she provides.”

Testimonial Two
“Clara’s support during the first moments and months as a family was a steadfast anchor in the everyday chaos. Her visits gifted me with moments of self-care and relaxation. I cannot recommend her massage and congeé enough! The love and devotion for her work and all the little details make it easy to trust and be yourself around her. I am happy for every woman who will have the chance to be pampered by her. Thank you, Clara”
