Practice overview
As a professionally trained and seasoned chef with over 10 years of restaurant and cooking experience and a certified Doula; nurturing and cooking are synonymous to me and it requires a certain touch to care and cook for newly postpartum families.
Just as you focused on your health and nutrition during your pregnancy, the postpartum period needs just as much attention, if not more.
You nourish the mother, you nourish the child.
Postpartum maternal nutrition is incredibly important and grossly overlooked in hospital births. Proper fuel is needed to build back blood, replenish the body with electrolytes and minerals, keep the body warm which promotes healing, all while being gentle on the gut as it slowly resumes its pre-pregnancy state and begins to absorbs the nutrients it needs to support a newly postpartum body and mind.
Postpartum support directly correlates to the blossoming mother’s mental state, which in turn correlates to the child.

February 8, 2023 at 11:02 am | Client reviewHaleigh and I connected early on in my pregnancy so we could build a trusting relationship and she could provide a foundation of education for me to achieve my birth plan. Haleigh was open to whatever my wants were and guided me through misconceptions that were hindering my confidence. When labor set in she was swift to respond and advise. Having her there took the stress away of the situation being unknown for my husband and I. Haleigh was also a physical pillar through the transition to the hospital and active labor having provided tools and resources that we wouldn’t have known we needed otherwise. She advocated for me and made sure my wants were being respected. I could not imagine having navigated through my birthing experience without her.

She has provided the support I needed before and after delivering. Her postpartum visits have been helpful not only physically but mentally. She has walked me through each step of this new life I have and my husband and I are forever grateful
