Postpartum Doula Support

As a postpartum doula, Alyssa supports women and families during the transformational
time immediately after a baby arrives. It has been said that when a baby is born, so is a mother;
I will be there to help “mother the mother”. Providing individualized support to help you find your
confidence and guidance so that you are able to tune out the noise of parenting experts and
tune into your innate wisdom of how to mother your child. Creating a peaceful environment so
that you can take the needed time to rest and bond with your new baby. Services that I offer for
postpartum mothers and their families can include some or all of the following:

 

• Meal planning and prep

• Light housework (vacuum, dishes, countertops, etc.)

• Emotional support

• Debriefing from labor and delivery

Prenatal Yoga One on One

During a prenatal yoga one on one session we will move through different breathwork,
meditation, and yoga postures. This will allow you to connect with your body and feel more
comfortable and confident throughout your pregnancy. Being a one on one session; we have the
opportunity to individualize the practice to suit your specific needs at the moment. In addition to

the physical practice of yoga, Alyssa will also be available to answer questions and offer
guidance during the exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) transition of pregnancy.
One on one sessions are scheduled for 60 or 90 minutes at an agreed upon time.
