Quinn Doula Services
postpartum DOULA SERVICES
The postpartum period is such a delicate, special time. It requires serious downtime in order for the body to heal and for the mother and child to bond.
I provide daytime support any day of the week.
Each shift follows an agenda focused on re-calibration of mind and body: preparation of herbal sitz bath, herbal foot soak, followed by relaxing body work with aromatherapy, belly binding and a postpartum meal prep. Time left over will be spent tending to household needs, watching over the newborn, or demonstrating any how-tos.

prep of an herbal sitz bath, herbal foot soak
