Caring for the new mother.

Why Fostering Strength?
Postpartum without planning, without thought on how you can truly rest, heal & nourish yourself is far too often the reality for new mothers. Not only are you juggling a new baby, you also have a new body, new hormones, new relationship, new routine etc etc. Here at Fostering Strength, we believe that with education & a plan in place on what to expect, how to set good boundaries, realistic expectations for your body, knowledge of biologically normal newborn behaviors & support in place before baby comes, you can take on postpartum with confidence.
focus on advocacy & boundary support & embracing matrescence
focus on education & realistic, gentle expectations
focus on nourishment, rest, & holistic, low tox living
Meet Dané
Dané is a soon-to-be mother of two, a CAPPA trained Labor & Postpartum Doula*, & a local ESOL teacher. After having her son, Dané felt like she was purely surviving but didn't have the support in place to help make the transition to Motherhood less burdensome. She knows first hand how important it is to have someone there, unbiasedly, being your net & giving you rest & space to pickup Motherhood with a bit more ease. She wants to come alongside new birthing people with resources & holistic care by fostering others strength in their perinatal experience. She can't wait to hold you up during this new season!
