POSTPARTUM SUPPORT

Led by a Registered Nurse, our daytime and overnight postpartum support provides professional, nurturing in-home guidance and expertise to growing families. 

Learn the tools to care for your baby with confidence and to navigate the unpredictable moments. We’re here to validate your struggles, assure you what’s “normal” (and what’s not!) and offer evidence-based, non-judgmental support so you can transition to your new normal with ease.

“Chiminh and her team are a gift to all mamas. I worked with her during the first month of my son's life when I was feeling quite confused and ungrounded as a new mother. She and her team were warm and affirming and just what my husband and I needed to work through the repercussions of a difficult labor and delivery. I could not have gotten through those first six weeks without her support and trust in my own process as a mother.”

- Phoebe

“The most difficult part of birth is the first year afterwards. It is the year of travail – when the soul of a woman must birth the mother inside her. The emotional labor pains of becoming a mother are far greater than the physical pangs of birth; these are the growing surges of your heart as it pushes out selfishness and fear and makes room for sacrifice and love. It is a private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth, perhaps it is even more sacred.“
