"Anathea was a crucial part of my postpartum recovery and our transition into a family of four. As soon as she walked through the door, she commanded the household with compassion, professionalism and skilled knowledge. It was amazing how easeful she was able to multi-task during the 4 hour appointments. I would feel nourished with her herbal medicines, revitalized with her help getting a shower or some time in the sun, the house got cleaned, laundry done and she was even able to fit in special playtime with my 4 year old daughter."
"Anathea draws upon her years of experience working with families and her intuitive approach to baby and mama care for a service that is invaluable during such a tender time in a new mother's life. My family is grateful to have had her be part of our 4th trimester and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to make the transition into motherhood feel more gentle and supported."
"Anathea is a natural born doula. Whether it was drawing me a bath or cooking up some delicious healthy food, or being an ear to the challenges that arose, she showed up with deep presence, reverence and love. She helped me feel seen and heard, and nourished. During the postpartum period when papa went back to work, I was So thankful that she was able to come back, and watch baby river so I could take care of me. Her willingness and care helped me through the unexpected challenges of postpartum. Genuine care and support is undeniably the most crucial aspect in the success of the postpartum motherbaby. Anathea makes sure you have that so you and baby can thrive."
