You can call me Jelly.
I’m a postpartum doula who provides Asian-inspired postpartum care (that’s a little more modern and flexible than your aunties would provide).
At Sitting Moon Doula, I help new parents and families feel confident and supported during the exciting (and challenging!) first weeks after baby comes home. Based on your preferences, I can go as traditional or modern as you’d like.
Sitting Moon Doula provides
evidence-based information and Asian-inspired care during your postpartum period.
The Sitting Month is such a beautiful and necessary part of postpartum recovery. Unfortunately, in today’s fast-paced world, these important practices can get lost. To me, the most essential practices are:
Nutritious Meals
Belly Binding
Restorative Baths
Rest
To your home, I bring:
A feeling of community.
Growing up, I always felt so lucky to be surrounded by loving family members who all helped each other. In my work, I want to reinvigorate the time when a community came together in bringing new life into the world — not only helping the birth parent, but the entire family adjust to this new exciting chapter!
A positive, knowledgeable, confident, joyful environment.
The birth of a new baby is one of the biggest transitions of your life! While it comes with great happiness, it also comes with a regular dose of challenges. I help you:
- Rest, recover, and nourish your body
- Have time and space to bond with baby
- Build a confident skillset
- Tap into your intuition
- Honor this sacred time
- Gain peace of mind
- Navigate challenges
- Laugh!
A knack for babies (and tons of training + experience).
I’ve always been drawn to babies and children. My mother told me that at age 4, I innately knew how to hold a baby and support their neck in just the right way — and by 6, I could easily soothe a baby who was upset. Nobody in my family was surprised when I became a doula, or that I am pursuing a degree in nursing with a goal of opening a birth center to help close the gaps in reproductive healthcare. I’m a caregiver at my core.
A whole plethora of postpartum doula specialties.
My style of care is intended to help you integrate baby into your life in a confident, natural, and organic way.
