Service introduction

Akari is a postpartum care experience rooted in gentleness, dignity, and village care. I offer overnight postpartum doula support to help families recover, rest, and feel truly seen in the earliest days of parenting. My services include in-home and hybrid care options, with a focus on nourishment, emotional support, and newborn care guidance. For families needing deeper rest, I also offer the Akari Recovery Stay—a 2-week retreat-style postpartum experience hosted in partnership with local Airbnbs and care providers. All services are designed to support every kind of family, from solo parents to couples navigating recovery after birth, miscarriage, or loss.
