About Me

Hi beautiful people!

My name is Princess Umi but you can call me Umi.

I care deeply about our community, parents with children, parents who want children, the children themselves. It is an honor to care for you in the tender moments of postpartum.

My offerings include: overnight care for newborns, postpartum healing plans, meal train creation, traditional belly binding and gentle presence.

I love babies and am available for childcare as well. If you need anything parenting, childcare related, reach out to me.

I'm here for you.

The mission: to treat the postpartum period with the honor it deserves.
