We offer a 5 week package where we come to your home once a week to do healing treatments for new mothers. Each session lasts around an hour. We would start one week after a vaginal delivery and 2-3 weeks after a C-section.

Belly Binding
Throughout the five weeks, you will receive a uterine massage followed by bellybinding using the Bengkung method which roots back to Malaysia. After we will proceed with our hot stone womb therapy

Womb Steam
On this visit we will be bringing warmth back into your womb, with a vaginal steam. Steaming is used by many cultures to help release any impurities left after the birth and to heal the perineum. Steaming has been used for centuries to help women not only in postpartum recovery but also with fertility, fibroids, PCOS and more!

Floral Sitz Bath
This visit will be all about taking a moment for yourself while healing your perineum! We will set up a beautiful floral sitz bath. Sitz bath herbs are a great way to speed up the healing process. Each Herb is hand picked to help tone, cleans and clean the vaginal area.
Meet the Team
In order to serve as many Bay Area families in postpartum care as I can, I have trained two wonderful doulas to help take on different parts of the Bay! I am so excited for you to meet and work with them along side myself. Click the tab next to their names to learn more about them!

My name is Palwasha but you can call me Polly! I am interested in all things herbal, holistic, and natural healing. Helping women transition from maiden to mother and empowering them to honor themselves is my greatest passion. I have a B.S. in Psychology, am a certified breath-work facilitator, and am a DONA trained birth doula.
My favorite herbs are chamomile, lavender, and sage. I am a tea and coffee enthusiast - a foamy cappuccino is the best! Yoga, hiking, reading, and heat therapy are some of my favorite activities. I love acupuncture and relaxing at the spa too!
I’m originally from the East Coast but have spent the last five years between Istanbul and California. San Diego will always have my heart but I am loving serving the Bay Area and living in San Francisco!
I can’t wait to accompany you on your birth and postpartum journey

My name is Ameena and I have been a passionate birth worker for some years now. I work as a DONA certified birth doula and a Lamaze child birth educator. I educate my clients on everything pregnancy, birth, and postpartum related but also have the honor of going on the very sacred and beautiful journey of birth and motherhood with them. It’s been an absolute blessing being in this field.
When I am not reading, learning, teaching, and witnessing all things birth related, I get to spend my time with my husband and 3 boys! Yes, 3 BOYS!
Carrying and bringing these boys into this world has helped shape the person I am and the compassion and respect in which I show all women. We are so amazing and strong! As a homeschooling family, we stay busy with hikes, soccer games, exploring new places to eat and drink, and spending time with our extended family members.
When I do have downtime, I like to workout so that I can stay strong for my family and the families that I serve during birth. Doing hours and hours of double hip squeezes requires strong arms!
My goal is to continue to serve the women in my community and to be a source of guidance and ease for those whom may approach birth & postpartum with fears and anxieties.
As women, we must surround ourselves with others that make us feel loved, safe, and supported and there is no better time to start this than at your birth and on your postpartum journey.
