The first three months after birth are a time for healing. New mothers need special care and support just as much as new babies do. I provide holistic postpartum care using herbs, food, hands, and heart because postpartum care is essential for the present and future health of every woman.
Herbs, alcohol, and water are measured and placed in a glass jar.
Jar is stored in the apothecary and given a few shakes every day to mix the contents.
Herbs are left in the jar for a minimum of six weeks to macerate.
Herbs are pressed by hand using a hydraulic press to yield a potent liquid extract.
Hi! I’m Laci. I’m an herbalist, postpartum doula, and mom. I use herbs, nutrition, and traditional postpartum practices to help women heal after birth.
The mainstream narrative tells us that women should give birth and return to business as usual in just a few weeks or less, but this mindset is unrealistic and harmful to moms and babies. In cultures around the world, there are longstanding traditions of how and why women should be cared for in the immediate weeks following birth.
Just like in pregnancy, postpartum is a specific period of time in a woman's life where she must care for her body differently than before.
I'm here to teach and support women in their postpartum care, so they can step into motherhood in good health.
