Rachelle Garcia Seliga

My approach to caring for you during the transformative time of postpartum is is built on the trust in your body's physiological ability to heal and an integrated knowledge of ancestral wisdom. I offer you a holistic experience rooted in traditional postpartum practices, focusing on these important elements: warmth, nourishment, rest, and the importance mother-baby bonding.

 

What you will receive

Herbal support - Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I offer handcrafted herbal infusions designed to support accelerated postpartum healing—both internally and topically. These remedies gently nourish the body, restore balance, and promote recovery after birth, addressing everything from tissue repair and energy depletion to emotional grounding. Each blend is thoughtfully formulated to honor the unique needs of whoever I'm supporting.

Meal support - I offer organic, slow-cooked meals designed specifically for the postpartum body. They are deeply nourishing, easy to digest, and made with love. Rooted in the needs of the first forty days, these cozy, mineral-rich dishes help replenish vital nutrient stores, support tissue repair, and bring comfort to the nervous system. A well-nourished mother can heal more optimally, feel more grounded, and find solace in warm, satisfying meals during this sacred time. 

Emotional support - I offer grounded emotional support through presence, gentle conversation, and deep listening, both in-person or virtually. My care meets you where you are, whether you're processing your birth story, navigating identity shifts, or simply needing to be witnessed.

This kind of care is essential as it fosters nervous system regulation, nurtures emotional resilience, and strengthens the bond between you and baby. In a culture that often rushes this sacred time, honoring your full spectrum of emotions is a radical act truly helps you move through what's unfolding.

Infant care - From diaper changes, bathing, calming, swaddling, and baby wearing to reading cues and creating soothing rhythms. I offer gentle, intuitive care that meets your baby’s evolving needs. In these early days, infants are adjusting to life outside the womb; I support their transition by creating a calm, nurturing environment that helps regulate their nervous systems, fosters connection, and supports healthy development as they acclimate to the world around them.

household tending & older sibling support - So that you can fully rest and bond with baby, without the stress of falling behind on daily tasks, i can help with dishes, laundry, and light cleaning. I also offer gentle, attentive care for older siblings, helping them feel seen, supported, and included as their family expands. Through age-appropriate engagement and nurturing presence, I encourage self-sufficiency, emotional ease, and help them take part in this new chapter in a way that feels empowering and joyful.
