Hi, I’m Kelly Essington.
I am a certified Ayurvedic postpartum doula serving women and their families in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts.
I entered this work to nourish and care for new mothers and their babies during the most precious time in a new mother’s life. I will be there to care for the new mother so she is able to rest and recover and enjoy this incredibly special time with her newborn baby.
From a young age I was surrounded my newborns while my mother ran an in-home daycare so caring for infants has always been second nature to me.
My background is in holistic cooking; the right foods can heal and revitalize and during the six weeks after birth, nourishing yourself with the right nutrients can make a world of difference in your overall recovery and milk production.
Being able to marry my love of cooking nourishing foods and caring for the mother and newborn has become my life’s calling.
