Meet your doula
If you’re reading this, welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a mother of 2 & a postpartum doula in Waco, TX. After having my second child, I quickly realized the importance of having planned support in the postpartum period. I also realized how impactful & neglectful it can feel to not have it… Hence my decision to answer the call to become a postpartum doula.
My services focus on a holistic & modern approach to mothering the mother. I offer things like emotional support & birth debriefing, warm & nourishing drinks/meals, breastfeeding support, nurturing focuses such as belly binding & light massages.
I believe a well taken care of mother is a well taken care of society. Your fourth trimester sets the tone for your journey into motherhood & I am here & honored to support you.
With Love,
Kelsey Jarvis
Matrescence
the physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition to becoming a mother.
a transition like none other, & one you shouldn’t have to struggle, suffer, nor go through alone.

Contrary to a birth doula, a postpartum doula provides non-medical support in these important days and weeks following the baby’s birth.
Certified postpartum doula, Kelsey Jarvis, focuses primarily on mothering the mother as she knows the importance & interconnectedness of a healthy fourth trimester leading to a healthy mother and baby relationship.

A Postpartum Doula can begin care as soon as you are ready to have her come to your home.
You will book your service & then work with Kelsey directly on scheduling times that work best for both of you! This can range anywhere from one day support to up to 4 months postpartum!
please note- my services are to assist the mother, I do not work as a nanny or babysitter.
