HUDSON VALLEY POSTPARTUM CARE
Postpartum Bodywork + In-Home Care
Holding sacred ground so new born mothers can bloom.
Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, you may already be wondering…
How will I feel after I give birth?
What will my body need after birth?
What am I supposed to eat?
What is normal?
How am I supposed to do all this?
Where is my village?
I’m not here to hold your baby so you can shower…
I’m here so you can hold your baby while feeling seen, warm, well fed, and tended to.
For six weeks after birth, I come to your home to care for you.
Bodywork. Nourishment. Warmth. Listening. Steady support.
Care for the mother, so she can care for her baby.
Based in Kingston, serving families throughout the Hudson Valley & Catskills.
Postpartum is a sacred window—not a syndrome.
We have come to expect postpartum depletion, exhaustion, pain, and overwhelm as inevitable.
I don't.
When a mother is well fed, warmly tended, listened to, and given space to rest, postpartum can also be a time of healing, beauty, bonding, and profound transformation.
Together we reweave the village of care and nourishment around your family.
This is not conventional doula care
I'm not here to help you get more done.
I'm not here to walk your dog, do your laundry, wash your dishes, or take the baby off your hands so you can catch up on everything else.
I'm not here to help you bounce back as quickly as possible.
And I'm not here to be your entire postpartum village.
That's not my work.
My work is caring for the mother.
If you're not interested in making time and space for your own recovery, this probably isn't the right kind of care for you.
I believe postpartum deserves attention.
I believe your nourishment matters.
I believe your body deserves care after what it has just done.
I believe rest is part of the work.
I believe bounce back culture can go fox itself.
You don't have to be good at resting before you work with me.
You just have to be willing to make room for it.
What does a visit look like?
I'll come to your home.
We'll begin by checking in: how are you feeling? How (and what) is your body feeling? How is nursing going? How is sleep? What do you need today?
Bodywork is a central part of the postpartum care I offer. What that looks like changes with where you are in your healing.
A visit might include:
Mayan lymph-supportive bodywork
Gentle abdominal and womb bodywork
Abhyanga
Belly binding
Bone closing ceremony
Moxa and other warming therapies
Herbal baths, sitz baths, or herbal preparations
Infant bodywork when appropriate
Breastfeeding and baby-care support
Birth-story listening
Ritual, processing, and witnessing
A place to ask all your TMI questions
You don’t need to host me, you don’t even need to get dressed. I am here to care for you while you care for your baby.

Hi, I’m Maible
I am a student of midwifery, herbalism, my ancestors, my own motherhood, and spiritual traditions and healing practices from across the world.
I believe mothers deserve to be cared for with the same tenderness and nurturance we give their babies. Centering the mother-baby dyad in this vulnerable and impactful time is the kind of tending that changes lives.
FAQs
-
My work is centered on the mother and her healing and care. Postpartum bodywork is a central part of the care I offer, alongside newborn support, breastfeeding support, listening, nourishment, and the practical and emotional tending that can make the early weeks feel more held.
I don't provide housekeeping, laundry, or household management. I'm here to care for you.
-
Every birth and every body is different, but gentle, warming bodywork can usually begin (and feel incredible!) immediately postpartum. We'll talk about your birth, how you're feeling, and what your body needs.
-
Every visit begins with a check-in. We'll talk about how you're feeling, how your body is recovering, how feeding and sleep are going, and what you need that day.
From there, we might move into postpartum bodywork, warming therapies, breastfeeding or newborn support, birth-story listening, or simply creating space for you to rest. The visits are intentionally and necessarily responsive and flexible.
-
Sessions are 2–3 hours. I’m not going to piddle about if we’ve done some some good care and you’re ready for a nap just to make it to three hours. I’m also not going to cut a bodywork session just when you start to cry through your birth story because we’ve reached our time. We are in newborn time - flexible, liminal.
-
No.
In fact, you may have no idea what you need. That's part of why I'm there.
We'll figure it out together based on how you're feeling that day.
-
Absolutely.
Postpartum care isn't only for first-time mothers. Every birth is different, every postpartum is different, and you deserve to be cared for whether this is your first baby or your fourth.
-
I'm based in Kingston and serve families throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills, generally within a 45-minute radius of Kingston. Travel fees may apply outside my regular service area.
-
I work with mothers who are committing to the full six weeks of postpartum care. Within that six-week container, you choose how often you'd like me to come, from once a week to five visits a week.
-
Yes.
Postpartum bodies deserve care whether or not your babe comes earthside.
After miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, or other pregnancy loss, the body still needs warmth, nourishment, rest, physical care, and time to recover.
There can also be a profound emotional and hormonal transition, whether or not the pregnancy was as expected.
If you've experienced a loss and are wondering what kind of care might be right for you, you're welcome to reach out and we can talk about what you need.
