About Me

Hi, I'm Chandley – founder of The Ojaian, local birthkeeper, postpartum doula, and compassionate chef who focuses on earth-centered nourishment. I’ve committed my life to tending to people’s nourishment needs during times of change and overwhelm - including postpartum recovery, chronic illness, hormonal shifts during the aging process, modern living, deep awakening, and reclaiming health. 

​

As a sixth-generation Ojaian, the services I provide are rooted in my dedication to being in right relationship with this land and the cycles of life it sustains. I am guided to work with people who want to cultivate wellness from within; people like you, who want to truly nourish themselves so they can operate at a higher, more loving frequency.

A gathering place for those seeking a remembrance of the pregnancy, birth, & postpartum wisdom that has always belonged to them.

We are Chandley and Kaitlin – mothers, keepers of conscious birth and postpartum ways, and the creators of The Mother Well, an ethereal gathering place for women to receive well-curated birth and mothercare knowledge that is most commonly found behind a paywall. Having traversed the distorted realms of modern birth and postpartum work for many years, we have chosen to now serve mothers as devoted birthkeepers – not gatekeepers. Thus, here at The Mother Well, what has most commonly been reserved for clients, students, private online spaces, and professionals will be given to all people as a gift.
