Nourished By Kristin

A friend suggested that I read,

The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing a New Mother, and my postpartum doula journey began.

In my work, I combine postpartum doula services, in-home care, and chef services all in one. Providing support to families as they adjust to life with a newborn is my calling. I am pleased to include, (but not limited to), help with chest-feeding and infant care— along with employing a 'food as medicine' approach to postpartum recovery. As an accomplished Chef, I create meals that are tailored to the individual needs of a family—taking into consideration dietary restrictions and personal preferences. I also include soothing, nutritious foods to help the birth parent regain strength and vitality. Overall, I am very passionate about providing the necessary nurturing and compassionate care to families required during the postpartum period.

As a Postpartum Doula,

my ultimate goal is to provide unparalleled assistance during the crucial days and weeks after childbirth. I offer my unwavering support for up to 3 months after birth, providing expert guidance with infant care, and both emotional and physical support for the birthing and non-birthing parent. Light housekeeping, cooking, and access to invaluable resources are also included. My unwavering focus is to be an impartial third-party helper for families as they seamlessly adjust to their life with a newborn. While my certification in CPR and First Aid is a testament example to my expertise, my role is strictly non-medical. Therefore, I don't offer medical advice, perform clinical tasks, or diagnose conditions. I do, however, obtain and share key resources with you to be able to deal with such matters quickly.
