Holistic Postpartum Care
Bringing your baby home is one of the most beautiful and transformative times of your life, but it can also be one of the most demanding. While there’s plenty of attention on preparing for birth, very few new parents get the hands-on support they need after the baby arrives.
At Louisville Newborn Care, we believe that postpartum care is essential, not a luxury. Around the world, it has long been recognized that new mothers need time, nourishment, and rest to fully recover and adjust. We’re here to provide that kind of thoughtful, whole-person support to families in Louisville.
A well-supported postpartum period helps mothers recover more smoothly, bond deeply with their baby, and regain strength and balance: physically, emotionally, and mentally.
What Holistic Postpartum Care Includes
Yoni Steaming
I facilitate Yoni Steams throughout your postpartum and provide all the necessary equipment for you to continue steaming when I’m not present. Steaming supports internal and external tissue repair, uterine cleansing and toning, relaxation, and circulation. It is a beautiful self care practice that can be continued into motherhood.
Herbal Support
I provide my own homemade herbal products to support you in your sacred healing. This can include facilitating herbal baths during our visits, and brewing medicinal herbal teas and infusions. You can also purchase my products for long term use.
Household Support
I will care for your home in all of its needs, so that you and your family members can rest and move through your postpartum transition with ease. I will cook nourishing and nutrient-dense meals, clean, do dishes, do laundry, change diapers, and anything else that is needed around the home.
Holistic Motherbaby Education
In a world full of conflicting advice, I offer clear, intuitive, and physiological education on all aspects of postpartum including: your healing, biologically normative newborn care, breastfeeding, optimal nourishment, and more.
Birth Processing & Emotional Support
I will hold space for your birth story in full, and whatever processing comes with it. In all of our visits, I am here for you as a grounded pillar of love and compassion, no matter what is coming up for you. I am also in emotional and spiritual service to your family, as you are all impacted by this big transition.
Womb-Tending
I offer womb-healing techniques and ceremony after birth, including Closing of the Bones. The Closing of the Bones Ceremony is a gentle, nurturing practice that helps mothers physically and emotionally “close” after the openness of birth, using warm oils, wrapping, and intentioanl care. Learn more.

I’M LARA LASKY, YOUR
Innate Postpartum Care Practitioner
I have always considered myself a nurturer and helper. I deeply care for the earth and the people that live on them. I love making soul connections and hearing about people’s journeys. I attended my first birth, of my nephew, 22 years ago and was hooked on the magic of it all. I went on to attend births with family and friends and when I became a little disillusioned with my first career as an environmental scientist, I began as a volunteer birth attendant. I fell in love and knew this was my life’s calling.
Since then, I found myself deeply loving the sweet nature of postpartum care: tending to a mother so intimately in her sacred postpartum window is an honor that fulfills me in such a unique way.
I started a Doula Agency in Chicago that has blossomed into a successful community of women serving women in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and I am so joyful to be claiming my own personal path as a certified Innate Postpartum Practitioner in Louisville, KY. and serving women of this community in postpartum.
