Regina was an absolute lifesaver and deep soul supporter after our daughter was born. I will be forever grateful for all we shared in the sacred space that was the 40 days after birthing! Being a first time mother, those first weeks after birth were more tender than I could have ever imagined. Regina came in and supported our family in such beautiful and attuned ways - handing me a cup of broth or healing tea, lending an ear, gentle touch and massage, helping with laundry and dishes, and offering ideas and resources when we had questions. Her presence is fiercely loving and grounding and she seemed to flow almost effortlessly through the home, weaving us a web of support and nourishment. I felt so trusting knowing her knowledge and experience with nutrition, bodywork, ritual, and healing that came together so naturally and supported us in deep and profound ways. The Closing of the Bones ritual was especially impactful - marking the transition from birther to mother with support from Regina and the rest of the family present. When I hear someone is pregnant, I feel so compelled to recommend they reach out to Regina and offer themselves the support they deserve during such a sacred time.

Working with Regina during my postpartum journey was truly a blessing — one that I didn’t even realize how much I needed until she arrived. Unlike many doulas who come in right after birth, Regina entered our home a little later, after the initial whirlwind had settled. By then, my family support had gone home, and I found myself in that quiet, often overlooked space of postpartum life — not quite in crisis, but not okay either.

From week 6 to week 12, Regina came into our home several times a week and brought with her a sense of calm and care that I hadn’t felt in a long time. She nourished us — not just with the most delicious, healing meals, but with her steady presence and practical support. She helped with the house, with the baby, with the things that felt impossibly heavy on my shoulders.

But more than that, Regina was the first person in my postpartum experience who truly centered me — my body, my needs, my emotions. So much of that early phase revolves around the baby, but Regina made it clear that I mattered too. Her presence allowed me to truly rest and recover. The impact she had on my healing and sense of self during those weeks is something I’ll carry with me always.

I am endlessly grateful for Regina, and I truly believe that every new parent deserves someone like her by their side. She gave me the kind of support that goes beyond a service — she gave me deep, nurturing care when I needed it most.
