Every woman deserves a nurturing companion, a guiding light, and a dedicated caregiver during the profound journey of the first 40 days after childbirth. Shelley’s personalized postpartum care embodies both practical support and tender care that every new mother deserves.

With a wealth of experience as a Postpartum Caregiver, Postpartum Chef, and Birth Doula since 2007, Shelley is committed to nurturing mothers and families. Her mission is to ensure that mothers embark on their motherhood journey feeling cherished, well-nourished, and supported.

Shelley’s postpartum caregiving services offer daily holistic care, providing woman-to-woman nurturing through nourishment, emotional understanding, energetic restoration, loving care, and above all…love!

In Indian postpartum traditions, it’s believed that how a mother is cared for in the first 40 days after birth profoundly impacts the next 40 years of her life. A healthy mother is the cornerstone of a healthy family. The transition from pregnancy to postpartum brings rapid changes on every level, coupled with the demanding needs of a newborn. Without adequate support, a mother may face overwhelm and mental exhaustion, leading to postpartum depression.

Experience deep rest, indulge in nourishing, freshly prepared meals tailored to your body’s needs, and receive emotional support, understanding, and validation. Entrust yourself to Shelley, an experienced postpartum chef, expert in postpartum massage and belly binding, and a true wise woman who deeply comprehends the needs of new mothers.

Words From Our Thriving Mothers

I left our session feeling like an enormous emotional weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you so much, Shelley.
Gerda
I now realize what a birth warrior I truly was and how every decision I made benefitted my son. My baby and I have a much stronger bond now after our session. Thank you Shelley for helping this mama heal! I highly recommend Shelley to any mommy who is grieving the birth she didn’t get, but wanted.
Chelsea Markel
I miss Shelley’s cooking so much that I want to have another baby just so I can eat her food again!
Richa Garg
Shelley’s methodology and guidance have truly been a game-changer. Through Shelley’s know-how, my partner was able to create an environment where I could thrive as a newborn mum. Because my partner and family understood what my needs were and how to meet them, I was able to hold even more space for our bundle of joy, both, mentally and physically.
Gerda and Richard
Best choice we made was to work with Shelley before, during, and after the birth. She helped my family take excellent, holistic care of me, so that I could heal quickly and be strong for them. With daily massage, warm meals, and a caring friend to process all the beautiful, difficult, incredible moments of birth, I felt spoiled - but it is clear how much this deep care helped us all to thrive. Birth and postpartum is a time of incredible change and beauty; being wrapped up in warmth, love, and caregiving is sadly absent from our current system, but so necessary and exactly what EVERY mother deserves! We have so much gratitude for wise women like Shelley!

I can’t even begin to express how magical Shelley is.

Shelley’s caregiving helped me heal both physically and mentally. Words aren't enough to do justice for Shelley's love and care. You need to experience it to know it. Thank you Shelley for being there for us!!!
Archana and Venkat
I've had 3 home births, with 3 different ayurvedic chefs/caregivers, and I must say, there is no caregiver like Shelley when it comes to post birth. Shelley's energy, wisdom, and creativity gently and profoundly infuse the post-birth family with exactly whatever it's needing most. I felt re-born under Shelley's care whilst I was nurturing a new babe's life myself. Her birth story listening, storytelling gifts, combined with her bodywork package together raises the bar for postpartum care as some major shamanic, healing art.
Kristina Mikailian
The massages Shelley gives are extremely relaxing and special because of the time and effort she spends in helping you overcome your physical and emotional barrier. She takes time to listen to you and let's you unload all your mental stress while her massages relieves all the physical stress.
