Imagine this..
You are newly postpartum with your newborn in your arms. Newborn snuggles are filling your cup because you are rested and relaxed. The kitchen is clean and organized, nourishing homecooked meals are brought to you, and a loving doula is listening to your birth story while you relax with your feet soaking in warm water with fresh lavender and roses…
Postpartum Support during your sacred window
work with me
Around the world, there are wise woman traditions where a whole village surrounds the postpartum mother - to cook for her, wrap her belly, give her warm massages with medicated oils, herbal baths, and taking care of household chores. This allows the mother to fully rest, and recover, from her birth so she can solely focus on bonding with her newborn baby.
In those cultures, we see mothers thrive and are able to step into motherhood feeling healed, supported, replenished, and joyful.
Sadly, in our modern society where the majority of us live in single-family homes, isolated from community, and far away from nuclear family, it is a rare privilege to know of the sacred window.
It takes a village
Thrive, not survive
This is where I can help. It is my passion and joy to bring nurturing care to mothers and their family. I center my postpartum doula care around the mother so she can feel nourished, supported, and connected.
You, my dear, deserve to thrive in your postpartum, not just survive.
My expertise comes from a holistic background in the ancient traditions of Ayurveda, yoga, mediation, and holistic lifestyle. I incorporate modalities of Ayurvedic nourishment, organic herbalism, and relaxing self-care practices. These modalities encourage your body to heal and your mental + emotional + physical health to flourish so you can step into your new journey exuding radiance.
What is the Sacred Window?
The first 42 days after birth & a monumental launching pad into motherhood. It is often referred to as the 4th trimester.
One of the most empowering and fiercest journeys you will ever make.
A time where intense hormonal fluctuations, postpartum depression, baby blues, PMADS, and sleep deprivation can occur.
Often overlooked, but is a critical time. Proper care helps you emerge from the transition to motherhood more fulfilled, aligned, and stronger.
It's a time for deep rest and rejuvenation
you deserve it
"If you want a healthy population, take care of the mothers, it's where we all come from."

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a postpartum doula do?
Postpartum doulas can work with you during the first moments at home. This can typically range from a couple of weeks to a couple months, however, single sessions are incredibly impactful. Postpartum doulas provide unbiased support and create a safe space for you to feel comfortable and cared for. You will receive assistance through homecooked nourishment, newborn care, custom herb preparations, and lite household needs. Postpartum doulas provide critical support during the often overlooked "fourth trimester."
What differentiates Sol Bloom from other postpartum doulas?
My expertise and background stem from Ayurveda and yoga. I have studied conscious postpartum doula care and understand the unique needs postpartum mothers have from a holistic perspective. I incorporate healing foods and herbs because I understand the impact this will have on a mother to heal from the inside out. I am extremely mindful and respectful of each woman's unique birth experience and needs. My purest intention is for all women to feel supported and seen, therefore, she can take care of her baby to the best of her ability. This will ripple out into generations to come. I truly believe generational, and global healing, starts from you.
Do you charge more for twins?
Since my main focus is on the mother I do not charge more for twins unless infant care is required.
When should I hire you?
You can hire me before you give birth and I will prioritize scheduling your care once you are postpartum. Often mother's are not aware that they need this level of care until after they have given birth. You are able to hire me at any time postpartum. I can work with you as early as 48 hours from booking as long as I do not have another client.
Do you care for women who had a miscarriage or planned abortion?
Absolutely! You deserve love and deep support. Depending on your circumstances I can modify your care to ensure it feels right for you. Contact me to discuss your needs. You are worthy.
Why do I have to pay 100% 48 hours before services rendered?
I require full payment of the service 48 hours before our scheduled visit since all food, herbs, and oils will be pre-bought before our time together. Sessions are non-refundable and I will work with you to the best of my ability to reschedule your session to fit your needs.
What is your reschedule or cancellation policy?
There is a 48 hour cancellation and reschedule policy. If your session has been rescheduled, or cancelled, under 48 hours then you will be charged $100 to rebook for a future service. This is to cover the costs of food and herbs that were purchased. However, I will try to work with you as best as possible.
