Traditional postpartum practices for modern mothers
At Lunar Roots, we provide postpartum doula and coaching services rooted in traditional practices to new mothers and parents desiring to transition into this new stage of life mindfully and wholly. We believe every mother deserves mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual postpartum support - because birth is not the finish line.

“Lisa’s experience in raising 3 children combined with her knowledge of holistic healing and Chinese yuezi practice make her a natural fit at providing postpartum support.
Postpartum can be a very vulnerable time, especially for first time parents. For me, I liked the idea of having support, but also felt like I needed to be really selective about who would be able to truly support me. Lisa's visit nurtured me both physically and emotionally, and I hope many others can benefit from her support.”

Motherhood brings new challenges
A new body
Carrying and birthing a baby takes a tremendous toll on the body
Healing requires rest, food, and nurturing
New emotions
No matter the kind of birth you have, it is an emotional experience
Processing requires care, listening, and space
New priorities
Life will continue - pets will need to be fed, plants watered, floors washed
Motherhood “takes a village” from the start
A new identity
In an instant, your whole world changes and you become an entirely new person
The identity shift into motherhood requires support and care

If mama is taken care of, then they can take care of baby
Warmth
Heat and spices are important aspects to healing after birth
Nourishment
Food is a focal point of holistic healing after birth
Food is medicine, after all

My mom and me on Mother's Day
Nice to meet you. I'm Lisa - Coach, Doula, and Mom
My transition into motherhood was deeply shaped by my mom’s support and the traditional Chinese postpartum practice of confinement. Inspired by my three postpartum experiences, Lunar Roots blends traditional wisdom with modern care to nurture the whole mother—so you can feel empowered at every stage of motherhood.
Traditional cultures have always supported and guided birthing people. It is time we bring back those practices so mothers can feel fully supported and given the time and space to evolve into this next version of themselves.
