About Chena
Hi I'm Chena, lovingly known as Chey by the communities I serve as a Holistic Full-Spectrum Doula. I specializes in care for minority families, but serve all leading with the philosophy of believing and promoting the beliefs of natural physiological birth. I do so by teaching the steps of holistic wellness through mind, body and spirit connection with a special emphasis on the importance of mental health. I'm a Wife, a Mom of three children and the Owner and Operator of Butta's Holistic Services. My business is family centered where I mentor others in community care, encouraging sisterhood and promoting the importance of family support. I love having the opportunity to work with whole families and supporting clients through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and early childhood stages.

Postpartum Care & Lactation Support (Hourly service)
Let's meet your postpartum needs with care and counseling and some yummy meals in between! (minimum booking is 2hrs)
Belly Binding
During pregnancy our muscles relax and stretch due to a hormone called relaxin. This hormone helps relax the ligaments in the pelvis, allowing it to expand during pregnancy and birth to accommodate your baby’s growth and arrival. Postpartum it’s completely normal to discover that our hips and ribs are wider as a result. Wrapping your torso will provide complete abdominal support, while stabilizing loose ligaments.! The wrap will help stabilize and support your body as the relaxin reduces in your body. Great for use starting at 2weeks postpartum and beyond. Additional benefits include: Bringing separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) back together Stabilizes loose ligaments Improves circulation Relieves water retention Helps dispel excess water, fat and air Helps decrease back pain while providing back support Reminds you to sit and walk straight - and a great remedy for the ‘nursing slouch’! Helps the uterus, and surrounding organs return to their pre-pregnancy state
Womb Steaming
Postpartum womb steaming is a gentle, nurturing practice that supports the body’s natural healing after birth. Using a warm herbal blend, steaming encourages increased circulation to the pelvic area, helping the uterus cleanse, tone, and return to its pre-pregnancy size. It can ease afterbirth pains, reduce pelvic heaviness, and support the healing of vaginal tissues. Beyond the physical benefits, postpartum steaming offers emotional grounding and relaxation during a time of major transition. It provides a sacred moment for new mothers to pause, reconnect with their bodies, and receive comfort as they adjust to life after birth.
Herbal Bath
Our Herbal Postpartum Bath is a deeply restorative experience designed to support a woman’s body in the tender weeks after birth. Using a handcrafted blend of healing botanicals—such as calendula, lavender, comfrey, chamomile, and yarrow—this warm herbal bath soothes sore tissues, calms inflammation, and promotes gentle cleansing of the perineal area. The natural herbs work to reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and support the body’s innate healing process, while the aromatic steam creates a calming, grounding environment for emotional release and relaxation. This ritual is more than a soak; it’s a moment of reconnection, nourishment, and honoring the postpartum body as it heals and transitions into its new rhythm.
