Post-Birth Help and Massages!!!

After I had my little gem, Z, I was in need of HELP! Shannon Collier runs Holistic Helping Hand and she is a certified post-partum doula who comes to your house and takes care of you! Yes, you...not the baby! Actually, she did help with him a lot, but she helped *me* take care of him and she made sure I was doing okay, esp after having a c-section. She was truly amazing! It's sort of like having a baby-nurse, but she's someone you like hanging out with and will provide *you* with moral support!

At any rate, if anyone you know, in the DC area, is expecting please pass her name along if they are in need of post-birth help. When she helped me she came for several hours each (or every other) day and was there to get me in shape to take care of little Z...esp when breastfeeding was so rough. She does lots of other things too, but she really helped get me through the rough patches!

Oh, and by the way, she's also a certified massage therapist and although I've never had a massage from her, I'm sure she's fab! Check it out!
