New Mother Support Session
Maybe you are feeling physically sore or exhausted after birth.
Maybe you are looking for ways to support your own emotional & physical healing as you grow as a mother.
Maybe your baby is a couple weeks or months old and you are feeling stuck or worried about your mental health and well-being.
Maybe you are experiencing a miscarriage or abortion.
This support is for mothers in the fourth trimester that are feeling stressed & overwhelmed and want to feel nourished, supported, and joyful so they can show up as the mother they want to be.
If you are looking for comprehensive holistic care, look into my fourth trimester support packages.
Mother-centered care for whole family wellness
Each session includes preparation of nourishing food, warming bodywork, and practical care to support a mother’s physical, emotional, & nutritional recovery after birth.
What mothers enjoy about my support
“One of the experiences that sticks out in my mind was when Skylar prepared a sitz bath for me to help heal my body. I remember walking into my bathroom, the lights were off, there was a candle flickering and I could smell a beautiful mix of herbs. I had just had a baby a week ago and I sat there feeling calm, joyous and like I was at the spa hot springs up in South Dakota that my husband and I love to go to every summer. I remember coming out of that experience feeling so refreshed and happy. Having a baby is amazing and at the same time one the hardest thing to go through. While I do have that support system I am still so glad that I found Skylar.”
