At The Altar of Women, we offer Postpartum Doula Services that provide comprehensive emotional and holistic support to new mothers in their fourth trimester. Our goal is to help you navigate the transformative journey of motherhood through deep emotional counselling, personalised ritual and ceremony, and heart-led guidance.

What Is A Postpartum Counsellor & Ceremonialist?

A Postpartum Doula is a trained professional who provides emotional and holistic support to mothers and families during the postpartum period. This support focuses on emotional counselling, identity transition, and personalised rituals and ceremony to honour the fourth trimester. At The Altar of Women, our postpartum doula services are tailored to meet the unique emotional and spiritual needs of each family—offering guidance, space to be heard, and support navigating relationships, motherhood, and healing after birth.

The Power of In-Person Counselling and Ritual in Postpartum Healing

The postpartum period doesn’t end after your 6-week check-up; the fourth trimester encompasses profound emotional, physical, and psychological changes that last well beyond those early weeks.

  • This personalised Closing of Postpartum Ceremony is a sacred, intentional way to honour the end of your fourth trimester.

    Rooted in traditional Mexican postpartum wisdom, the Rebozo—a beautifully woven shawl—is used to gently wrap and hold the body, offering grounding, containment, and a sense of closure after the expansive journey of birth and early motherhood.

    This ceremony is adapted to meet your unique emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. It is a time to pause, reflect, integrate, and be deeply held as you transition into the next phase of your motherhood journey.

    This nurturing experience may include:

    • A grounding meditation or intention-setting practice

    • Herbal tea or cacao ceremony to open the heart

    • Gentle wrapping using the Rebozo to support the nervous system and provide a sense of containment

    • A closing prayer or affirmation to mark the end of your postpartum chapter with reverence

    This ceremony can be held in your home and is a beautiful way to acknowledge all that you’ve moved through—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—as a mother.
