  • Wondering how you'll thrive in your postpartum?

[Save & share with family and friends!!]

Cook everything.
Baked.
Warmed.
Heating.
Healing ✨

If there is one thing we could teach the masses of postpartum women, today it would be the power of your gut.

Almost ALL of your serotonin (the feel good hormone) is made there!

You can lighten the load on your mind by taking care of your gorgeous postnatal body, Mom.

Caring for a mom?
You get to take part in this mind-body support system too! My favorite go-to meals for carers to make are anything with root vegetables. Simple to roast. Affordable. And easy for mom to digest after the first few days.

If mom has a vaginal birth, add GHEE to those veggies.

If mom has a belly birth, sesame oil is our go-to. Also great for vegan mommas.

Questions?

Need support for yourself or a new mom?

We're here with you.

P.S. Save the date: We begin cooking at @rootandrisecollectiveaz 3/24!!

  • Have you ever considered becoming a birthworker?

@cherryblossomdoulakristy graduated from Arizona State University with a BS in Sociology & Recreational Management. She then spent 12 years in the area of Software Sales & Pharmaceutical Sales - and although lucrative - it was not where her heart was! 

Kristy has now been an active Certified Birth Doula in the East Valley for over 7 years 🌸

Today, we give thanks for career transitions as many women don't know that women supporting birthing and postpartum women is even an option until well into their first career -- or once they are on the mothering path!

Empowered women empower women. All women. Always.

  • Read below for your birth options in the greater Phoenix area during our current climate.⁠ 👇🏽👇🏽
⁠
We have been helping many families navigate through the different restrictions over the last year and wanted to share an updated list as of 2/23/2021.⁠
⁠
When we talk about informed consent, you are given ALL options to make an informed decision about where to bring your baby earth side and how doula support fits into those options.⁠
⁠
*Currently, all Banner and Dignity hospitals are allowing one support person + one certified doula, care provided by a Certified Nurse Midwife or Obgyn (although hopeful this continues, it is subject to change without notice)⁠
⁠
**In the event the hospital changes its restrictions and limits the support people in any way, you can still receive doula support at home and virtual support once arriving at the hospital⁠
⁠
** In the event the hospital changes its restrictions and limits the support people in any way, you have the choice to change to a different birthplace or provider that does not share the same restrictions⁠
⁠
*For LOW-RISK birthing people, the Homebirth option allows the flexibility of support of your choice in your home environment, evidenced based care provided by a Certified Professional Midwife or Certified Nurse Midwife⁠
⁠
* For LOW-RISK birthing people, the Birth Center option allows one support of your choice, plus one doula in a freestanding birth center, evidenced based care provided by a Certified Professional Midwife or Certified Nurse Midwife⁠
⁠
*Virtual support from your doula in any birth setting ⁠
⁠
We have wonderful working relationships with many different providers in all birth settings and would love to walk alongside you as you navigate these precarious times.⁠
