This practice's postpartum vision was first conceived by Katie O'Day, the original mother of Sacred Transitions Midwifery. She created a lavish postpartum schedule which is centered around the principle of supporting joyful parenting and holding the sacred healing space until healed. In the first week postpartum, we see you in your home for four visits. This affords more times of confidence as we support and affirm you, and less time of doubt. We begin to see you in our office after the first week, and we work our way out of the immediate postpartum together, so that when we enjoy our last visit together at 8 weeks, your body feels nourished, and you have allowed self-compassion to shape you during your transition. 

At Sacred Transitions, our commitment to your care doesn’t end with birth, it deepens. Our comprehensive postpartum support is designed to honor and nourish you through this sacred time of transformation. We offer in-home postpartum doula care to ease your transition, providing hands-on support with newborn care, household help, and emotional grounding. Our lactation support ensures you have expert guidance to meet your feeding goals with confidence and comfort. Beyond the physical, we hold space for your emotional and spiritual wellbeing, recognizing that true healing encompasses the whole person. Through attentive listening, compassionate guidance, and individualized care, we walk beside you as you recover, bond with your baby, and step into this new chapter with strength, peace, and joy.

Our postpartum care extends to nurturing and supporting your newborn with the same attentive, holistic approach we bring to your entire journey. In the days and weeks after birth, we provide hands-on teaching in newborn care, helping you feel confident and empowered as you learn to care for your baby’s needs. We offer comprehensive newborn testing and treatments, performed with gentleness and respect for your little one’s wellbeing. Regular weight checks ensure that your baby is thriving, and allow us to provide timely support if any adjustments are needed. Throughout it all, our goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, reassurance, and expertise, as you and your baby find your rhythm together.

We love your body for what it did for you, your baby, and your family! At Sacred Transitions, we honor the postpartum time as a sacred threshold and a passage deserving of care, reverence, and deep restoration. In every one of our nine postpartum visits, we offer a healing art specially chosen to tend to the recovering body and spirit. Through practices like belly binding, herbal steams, therapeutic touch, and ancient remedies, we weave ritual into your healing, nurturing the layers of transformation that unfold after birth. This offering is not an extra, but a devotion: every client in our care receives this sacred support, a reflection of our commitment to honoring the whole journey into parenthood with tenderness, ceremony, and deep respect.
