"Alejandra's time spent with my family after the birth of our fourth child gave me life. Not only do I enjoy her company as a person but she knew exactly what I needed when I needed it. Her calm and sweet energy met me where I was; on days I was stressed she drew me a bath and held my newborn, watched my 15-month-old and folded laundry while I relaxed. On days I needed adult interaction, she listened to my stories. She massaged my feet when they were so swollen I couldn't get my shoes on, she doted on my babies, she made me nourishing food and drinks. The herbal baths she drew for me at each visit were made with fresh ingredients that help with common postpartum challenges. The food and drink helped replenish the vitamins and minerals that are low during pregnancy and childbirth. Alejandra has a spiritual aspect to her work, which I found very meditative; she performed a ceremony where she used fresh herbs and smudges to clear my body of negative thoughts and fears I may have about being a new mother of four. I don’t consider myself a spiritual person but these sessions really helped me focus on the good when the “baby blues” are so prevalent. We discussed beforehand what challenges I faced after my last three births, mostly that I needed to slow down. I had always dreaded the few weeks postpartum when everything hurts and now you're in charge of taking care of a little human. With Alejandra there, the stress melted away and I was able to enjoy my new baby."
