Preparing for the Phenomena of Postpartum Program
Are you here because you are pregnant and need more information about how to make your postpartum time magical?
Maybe you are feeling anxious about being in the postpartum time for the first time?
Maybe you are worried you will have postpartum depression?
The postpartum time in so associated with mental suffering that we often use the word postpartum when we mean postpartum depression. "I don't want to get postpartum." No wonder you are concerned that you will struggle with depression after baby is born when that's all we talk about related to the postpartum time.
I will teach you in this virtual educational series that there are so many things you can do to reduce the changes of postpartum depression or anxiety.
This educational series is more than onesies, padsicles and freezer meals. You will gain the

be asked the hard questions you need
leaving you feeling as prepared as possible for your postpartum experience.
This is for you IF you want to be prepared but in person support isn't appropriate.
This is for you IF you want to work with me but don't live locally.
This is NOT for you if you know all the things about postpartum preparation (who could, right?!)
Crossing the Threshold- A Mother's Circle
“Mother circle is a sacred space for women on any part of the motherhood path. Bonnie creates a safe space for us to gather in a circle and share our stories. Each meeting is similar, but catered to what we all are in need of. It’s a place where we share our worries, fears, successes, challenges, and complaints. Motherhood is hard, because it is, and we have lost the wisdom of coming together and supporting each other in our world. Once we come back the that we will see that the support is out there to help us through the tough times. To create a community that we can lean on for advice, support, and shared experiences.” -Casie, mother circle participant
This circle is held monthly at Ethos Yoga in Holly on a Sunday from 1:30-3:30pm. The cost is $25 and there are often sponsored spots available. Contact me for more information.
Postpartum Doula Support
Feeling worried about how your postpartum time will go?
Are you scared that being under supported could result in you feeling lonely, isolated, sad, or overwhelmed?
Let's work together to get you feeling prepared, supported, taken care of, and connected!
Let's get to know each other while enjoying herbal tea and green smoothies during your pregnancy. We have real honest conversations about the phenomena of the postpartum in an effort to get your prepared for what is to come.
Our work will help you feel
prepared
supported
confident
to take on whatever parenting throws at you. Once you enter the postpartum period my support will be individualized to your family's needs. Let me take care of you while you take care of yours. The focus of my visits will be to ensure you are feeling all of the oxytocin love instead of the overwhelm, isolation, boredom and loneliness.
My doula support is different because it reflects my beliefs that it is imperative to prepare for postpartum in the pregnancy and to really make a lasting impact in your postpartum time, that support is needed for at least 6 months after birth and even better if it's 1 year. I believe having support for the first year of your postpartum time is crucial to the family’s (including baby) mental health. I also work in a way that honors that the support you need is different every time we meet therefore must be tailored to you and your family.
This is for you IF you want to feel more prepared and supported in your pregnancy and/or postpartum time.
This is NOT for you if you are completely prepared and have too much support (does that even exist?)
