I (Hannah Williams) am a certified postpartum doula, trained lactation counselor and postpartum chef who also offers additional services of Ayurvedic massage and herbal sitz baths. I provide lactation counseling, gentle sleep counseling, and hands on newborn care support in the homes of families for the first 3 months of the babies life. Also known as the 4th Trimester. As a postpartum chef I offer weekly meal preparation focused on optimal nutrition for the birthing person or mother. These meals focus on healthy fats and galactogogues for recovery and lactation. As an additional service I offer Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage. This is a full body gentle massage with warm oil which promotes circulation, lymph drainage and relaxation. This type of massage is amazing for a postpartum body. It increases circulation and lymph drainage to help the body eliminate excess substances from the pregnancy and birth. It encourages production of the relaxation hormones for optimal lactation and sleep. Herbal stiz baths help the postpartum body heal and can alleviate pain and discomfort in the first few weeks after birth.
