POSTPARTUM CARE

NOURISHING POSTPARTUM FAMILIES WITH REST, FOOD AND NETWORKS OF SUPPORT

It is my aim to empower and embolden parents as they enter into new territory. Nurturing people to move confidently through the world as parents is not only healing, it is revolutionary.

My approach is grounded in
gender inclusivity, trauma-informed care and self advocacy.

  • Postpartum isn’t just the 3 months after birth, it is forever and you deserve care that reflects that.

My offerings

  • nourishment

    Replenishing the body with nutrients to support recovery and aid in healing is a pillar in postpartum care. This is offered via meal prepped items, setting up meal trains, and providing home-cooked meals for the family.

  • REST

    Rest is radical in a world that monetizes our productivity, especially after birth. Sleep support is provided through overnight or daytime sessions where gentle care is provided to your little one(s), giving you the opportunity to rest.

  • Self Advocacy

    My role is to advocate with you not for you. This looks like creating welcoming channels to express your needs and whole-heartedly supporting you where you are at here and now.

Customizable Packages to get you the care you need

“Lakiah came to our family’s rescue when my son was about three months old. He was only sleeping 2-3 hour stretches at that point, and my husband and I were utterly exhausted and overwhelmed. I was also riddled with anxiety, questioning my every move and decision, wondering if I was doing the right thing. The minute Lakiah walked through our door, I immediately felt a sense of calm. She listened and gave me words of encouragement that I so desperately needed to hear in such a vulnerable and sleep deprived state. I trusted her almost instantaneously and was able to sleep for the first time in three months, knowing that my baby was being well taken care of and loved on by an angel. Lakiah is kind, intuitive, punctual, and supportive – all the traits you look for in a postpartum doula. We are so grateful for her support and love during such a beautiful, but difficult and transitional time for our family. I would absolutely recommend her – 10/10.”
