Sitz Bath – A Soothing Postpartum Essential
A sitz bath is a warm, shallow soak designed to help new moms heal and feel more comfortable after birth. It soothes soreness, reduces swelling and promotes healing, especially for perineal discomfort or stitches.
What’s in a Sitz Bath?
Our sitz baths are made with a gentle blend of natural ingredients that are commonly used for postpartum healing:
Epsom Salt – Helps reduce swelling and promotes relaxation
Chamomile – Soothes irritation and supports comfort
Lavender – Encourages healing and provides a calming scent
Safety First! Always check with your healthcare provider before using a sitz bath, especially if you have stitches, sensitive skin or any medical concerns. Your comfort and well-being come first!
Belly Binding – Gentle Support for Postpartum Recovery
Belly binding is an ancient practice that involves wrapping the abdomen with a snug but comfortable fabric to support healing after birth. It helps provide core stability, encourages the uterus to shrink back to size and offers gentle support for the back and hips. Many moms find that it helps with posture, reduces discomfort and provides security as their body heals.
It’s a natural and non-invasive way to support recovery but everybody is different always check with your provider to see if it’s right for you! 😊
If I am unavailable for daytime care, I will arrange for a certified backup doula to ensure your family receives uninterrupted support.
🌙 Overnight Postpartum Doula Support

What’s Included:
✔️ Nighttime Feeding Support – Assistance with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding so your baby is nourished while you rest.
✔️ Newborn Care & Soothing – Gentle care to keep your baby comfortable, soothed and well-attended during the night.
✔️ Restful Nights for Parents – Wake up feeling refreshed and reassured, knowing your baby’s needs were met by a trained professional.
