Sarah Jane (SJ) McIntyre

SJ's postpartum doula offerings are a distillation of her 10+ years of experience as a home-chef, 200-hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Certification, 15+ years in child-care, and lactation training with Francie Webb & Manhattan Birth. SJ brings families a grounded joyful energy, prepares nourishing, slow-cooked, seasonal meals, provides lactation support, offers therapeutic movement/massage and serves as a witness to families during the immediate postpartum period. Whether you are bringing a new child into the world, have had a miscarriage, or need support as a single parent, SJ is eager to lighten your load in your early days postpartum. The postpartum doula track called SJ because 15+ years of babysitting revealed to her that mothers need more support. To SJ, mothers are the foundation of human and ecological well being. Societal demands on mothers to get it all done, be nice to their kids 24/7 and lose baby weight after giving birth make it very hard for mothers to be healthy in mind, body and spirit. If mothers aren’t well, no one is. SJ believes that postpartum doula support has a global ripple effect that not only supports the rest of the family but all those in her sphere of influence and beyond. Postpartum doula support is not just a nice thing to have, it’s a global necessity and it begins in your home.
