Creating a "Baby Moon" - A little celebration & care post birth.⁠
Have you ever heard of the 5-5-5 rule? ⁠
- 5 days IN the bed⁠
- 5 days ON the bed⁠
- 5 days NEAR the bed⁠
⁠
This encourages you to rest as needed and to focus on healing, bonding, feeding. Not everyone can do this exactly, but it's a great way to focus on taking care of yourself and your little one, helping to create a little "baby moon". ⁠

Katy loves children and working with new mamas. She was a nanny in high school before going to arts school in Minnesota. Katy moved to Chicago in 2006 and continued her work with families (as a nanny) and children (while teaching theater camps and classes). She found doula work in 2012 when one of the moms she was nannying for got pregnant and Katy was with her as a support during labor and went on to care for her newborn. This was truly satisfying and Katy became passionate about birth and newborn care. She attended doula training in 2012, and certified in 2014 as a birth doula with ToLabor. She hit the ground running, volunteering with Chicago Volunteer Doulas and working with Birthways, Inc. She still works with Birthways as their Labor Support Coordinator and has seen over 100 births. In 2018 she became passionate about leaning more about placentas, the wonder organ, and signed up with APPA to train in its arts. She is thrilled to be starting her encapsulator journey!⁠
