What Real Pre/Postpartum Support Can Look Like: Wisdom from a Holistic Doula & Modern Medicine Woman

In this soulful and supportive episode, I sit down with my dear friend Kelli Marie Frances—a holistic doula, clinical herbalist, and modern medicine woman—to explore what it truly means to feel held through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.

We dive into:

✨ What a doula really does before, during, and after birth

✨ The Seven Sisters postpartum support circle

✨ Rituals like Village Prenatals and Mother Blessings

✨ Why support after the fourth trimester is still so vital

✨ How to ask for (and receive) the help you deserve

Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or deep in the wild world of toddlerhood—this conversation is a powerful reminder: you don’t have to do this alone.

About the Podcast

Wildly Well Mamas
Authentic Conversations & Soulful Support
This is a space for mindful mamas committed to living their best lives while raising kids to thrive. The ones setting boundaries, breaking generational patterns, making learning a lifestyle, and raising their kids with intention—even when it feels messy or misunderstood.


I’m Jamie—a mama, wellness coach, and cancer survivor—here to share what I’m learning and have the conversations I wish more moms were having. In each episode, you’ll hear either a journal-style solo from me or a raw, inspiring interview with another mom on the wellness train.


We’ll talk about supporting our bodies through movement, nourishment, rest, and rhythm; regulating our nervous systems, ditching diet culture, living cyclically, raising conscious kids, and coming home to ourselves—over and over again.
No shame. No shoulds. Just stories, insights, and reminders that you’re not doing this alone.


Because when moms feel grounded, inspired, and wildly well—everybody benefits. 🫶
