My goal as your doula is to ensure you have everything you need to experience these four essential elements throughout your pregnancy, during labor and birth, and in the postpartum phase.
Prenatal visits are a chance for us to get to know one another on a deep and connected level. Together, we’ll explore your ideal birth preferences and prepare both physically and emotionally for the day your baby arrives.
On the day of your birth, my priority is that you feel completely safe and surrounded by people you trust. We’ll work together to build this inner circle. Whether you are in a hospital, birthing center, or at home, I will be your advocate, protector and cheerleader.
Postpartum visits give us time to process and reflect on your birth experience and to navigate your ongoing transition into life with your baby. This time is equally about your recovery, physically and mentally, and it is my job to support you through this healing process. Please see below for more information about my Postpartum Care Cooking services .
I love when my health coaching and doula work naturally intersect. I offer additional support in nutrition and overall well-being tailored specifically for pregnancy and postpartum. This may include meal planning and prep, movement and exercise support, and mindfulness practices.
I am passionate about supporting all birthing people, regardless of family structure, partnership style, or gender identity.
Every doula-client relationship is unique, and there are so many ways I can support you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out so we can determine how I can best support you.

Beyond my birth doula DONA International certification, I am honored to have trained under mentors with decades of experience in the birth work industry. I am a member of a doula collective which works in collaborative care with midwives, lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, newborn specialists, postpartum doulas, acupuncturists, bodyworkers, hypnotherapists and beyond. Together, we operate like a village, and can provide you with full spectrum care.

Postpartum Cooking & Care
healing, grounding & made with intention
The fourth trimester is a time for healing and bonding with your baby. Whether it’s a home visit or a home cooked meal delivered to you, postpartum care allows you to be mothered as you mother. While my care centers on nourishment through food, postpartum health includes all that keeps you in-tune with yourself, your babies, your partner and your circle of caregivers. I am here to process your birth, to run you a bath, to offer you a warm drink, to tend to your visitors so you can have time alone. My goal is that you feel grounded, safe and supported to ask for exactly what you need.
I offer nutrient-rich meals from my menu of postpartum breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts and beverages, featuring organic, local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible, and using Ayurvedic principles for optimal recovery, replenishment and comfort.
My menu includes soups, stews, broths, porridge, granola, muffins, energy bars, spreads, warm beverages with homemade plant milks and herbal teas.
All of my cooking focuses on nourishing your body after birth to stimulate milk supply, support digestion, balance hormones, boost metabolism, replenish essential nutrients and fluids, and cultivate pleasure and harmony in your body & mind.
We will talk in-depth about your unique values around health, your dietary needs and wellness goals so I can best support you through this transformative season.
All my offerings are flexible, meaning we can adapt week to week based on your ever-evolving needs.
As always, I operate on a sliding scale. We will find a a rate that feels mutually supportive and sustainable.
-
I deliver home cooked meals, snacks and beverages on a weekly basis. Meals are designed to be reheated and enjoyed on delivery day or within a few days (or stored in the freezer for longer keep!).
-
I’ll prepare a warm, nourishing meal in your home kitchen, bringing ingredients or using what you provide. This is a perfect option if you’d like a home-cooked meal while you focus on resting and spending time with the baby.
-
In your 37-39th weeks, I will come to your kitchen for a meal prep session(s), to stock your freezer and pantry for the postpartum weeks. These meals & snacks are designed for easy reheating and include options like breakfast jars, frozen soups & stews, lactation snacks, broths and more.
-
I will come to your home in those tender first weeks and support you and your family as needed, including performing light household tasks or errands, preparing herbal sitz baths or offering massage, holding space for birth processing and emotional support, caring for your baby as you rest, bathe, spend time alone or connect with your partner, and cooking your chosen meals, snacks, and beverages. I can offer a helping hand in breastfeeding, as well as further lactation support resources. Offerings range from single 3-hour sessions, to weekly packages, to the full Fourth Trimester support.

Meals can be customized based on your dietary preferences e.g. gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, high-protein.

“From our first meeting, Grace was a calming presence, offering expert support throughout my pregnancy and labor. Her guidance, encouragement, and personal touch made all the difference in helping me feel informed, empowered, and supported. She truly went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable doula! The snacks and insane cooking capabilities are an absolute plus.”

“I cannot recommend Grace highly enough! I worked with her during my pregnancy to prepare nourishing foods to store for postpartum. Grace helped me to find recipes that fit my dietary restrictions while also including the recommended nutritional components for a healing and nursing new mother. In our time spent together, I felt validated and supported by Grace. She has a warm and nurturing presence, a solid expertise in nutrition, and knows how to make healthy food taste delicious!”
