  • Postpartum vaginal steaming

  • Warm oil gentle kneading for the mother

  • Teach you about or assist with sitz baths, breast massage, and castor oil packs for vaginal birth or c-section recovery

  • Emotional support: listening to where you are during each stage of your journey

  • Infant care education: how to bathe, soothe, nurture and support an infant; how to respond to your baby's cues; and any other area where you are seeking input and assistance

  • Integrating the new baby into a family with older children

  • Optimizing the baby's environment, including the nursery, bathroom, changing stations, and other critical locations in your space
