Postpartum Care

Mother’s Sanctuary

This à la carte service is designed for flexible, occasional care—whether weekly, monthly, or as a special treat. While it’s perfect for the early postpartum period, it is equally restorative for moms of older children who may still carry the weight of motherhood’s demands. A deeply nurturing experience that focuses on your well-being, comfort, and healing, this offering creates moments of luxurious self-care for any stage of motherhood—because you deserve to feel supported and indulged at every step of your journey.

Consistent Care

My postpartum practice is rooted in honoring the sacred space of your recovery—your home, your body, and your heart. As a postpartum doula, I approach this work with deep intentionality, creating a warm and safe environment where you can be your truest self. Each session is tailored to what you need most that day, whether it’s meal preparation, a soothing neck or foot massage while you feed your baby, breastfeeding guidance, or baby support.

Postpartum Services Include:

  • Home cooked meals and snacks, both fresh & to feed your freezer for the future

  • Abhyanga massage (postpartum Ayurvedic massage)

  • Light cleaning, tidying, laundry

  • Connecting you to local resources/care providers based on your unique needs

  • Basic guidance with infant feeding & sleep, babywearing & general infant care

  • Emotional support and compassionate mama friend to walk alongside you in your journey of matrescence, whether this is your first child or your 5th

Here’s a brief example of what our time together could look like:

I arrive to your home with fresh cooked food that I pop into your fridge as I make my way to your bedroom. There, we check in as you share with me how you are feeling and any updates or questions. You’re feeding your baby as we chat, then I lovingly take them to change a diaper and slip them into a baby carrier. While wearing them (to sleep or not), I warm up that bowl of soup and make a cup of tea to serve you in bed. While you’re eating and I’m babywearing, I head to the living room to fold some laundry and tidy up. Baby is ready to feed again and I bring them to you as you’ve finished up your nourishing meal. While feeding, I sit at the end of the bed and rub your feet while we figure out what else you’re needing for the day, together.

Mothering the Mama

I hold space for you as you navigate the profound and sometimes overwhelming emotions of postpartum life, offering the genuine care and comfort of a close mama friend. I am here to guide you gently toward your intuition and empower a healing postpartum so you can focus on your recovery and the sacred bond with your baby. I am your extra pair of hands, a compassionate shoulder to lean on, and a steady, positive presence by your side.

Exchange: $40-$50/hour (sliding scale)

Testimonials

  • “From the first phone call I had, I knew Sylvia was *the one*! There was such an ease in talking to her- I felt like she was a friend I had always known. Her services and price point were a perfect match. I would later realize she is really full service -- body care, food, baby support, venting -- she did it all! 

    It was exciting to pick out meals from her menu (she taught us about bone marrow and the best frozen yogurt bark I still make to this day). My partner also really enjoyed the meetings leading up to her coming and once the baby arrived, always felt at ease when she was there. Once our baby came, I felt so taken care of by Sylvia. It was such an intimate experience (she literally scrubbed my feet while I did a sitz bath on my most tender regions) to have someone in your space during those early days and I am so grateful to Sylvia for being such an important part of our early days as parents. I would highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking to be pampered in their postpartum days. She's simply the best!”

  • “Sylvia is not only an incredible space holder, but also a gifted postpartum doula. Her approach is rooted in deep compassion and a true understanding of the challenges new mamas face. Whether it was her nurturing advice and helpful tips, or the space she held for me to express my feelings, Sylvia was there every step of the way. Her guidance around nourishment, both physically and emotionally, truly helped me feel more confident and empowered in my journey as a mother. I am forever grateful for her support—it has been invaluable!”

    - Galit

  • “After a traumatic birth and very challenging and lonely early postpartum period I became acutely aware of how I had underestimated how much support I would need and overestimated how much support I would have. I became increasingly more isolated, frustrated, depressed, and anxious as the months wore on.

    I needed a village. I needed to be witnessed in my mothering, in my successes. I needed to be held through my struggles and failures. I needed to be in an intentional space that was designed exactly for mothers where I could witness and be seen, where I could learn and share.

    I joined Mother the Mamas post partum support circle and found exactly the restorative experience I was looking for. I felt held by other mothers who filled my cup. Sylvia has created a space where mothers in all stages of motherhood can feel safe to explore their feelings around motherhood and seek friendship and advice. It’s been such a beautiful experience and I’m really grateful it exists.”
