Instead, it is grounded, holistic, and deeply human. We exist to support women and families during one of the most transformative seasons of life—pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early parenthood. Through compassionate guidance and evidence-based care, we help parents feel confident, nourished, and truly supported every step of the way.
Based in Houma, Louisiana, and serving families throughout Thibodaux and surrounding Bayou communities, Good Earth Perinatal Wellness offers both in-home and virtual support. As a result, families receive personalized care that meets them where they are—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Good Earth Perinatal Wellness was founded by Carisa Terrebonne, a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, Breastfeeding counselor, and Perinatal Nutrition Educator. As a mother of six, Carisa brings not only professional expertise but also lived experience into every client relationship. Therefore, her approach is both deeply informed and profoundly empathetic.
Carisa believes that postpartum care should never feel transactional or overwhelming. Instead, it should feel steady, reassuring, and empowering. Because of this philosophy, her work centers on building trust, honoring intuition, and providing practical tools that create real, lasting change.

Good Earth Perinatal Wellness blends natural, “crunchy” values with evidence-based practices. While honoring ancestral wisdom and intuitive care, we also rely on current research and professional standards. This balanced approach allows families to feel confident that their care is both nurturing and informed.
Our services are designed to support the whole person—not just the baby. Therefore, we address sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, recovery, nutrition, emotional well-being, and family adjustment together rather than in isolation.


We primarily support postpartum and breastfeeding women between the ages of 30 and 45 who value personalized, respectful care. Many of our clients are middle- to high-income professionals, business owners, or military families seeking premium postpartum support. However, we also proudly serve Medicaid families and teen mothers who deserve the same level of dignity and compassion.

Whether you are navigating colic, reflux, tongue ties, milk supply concerns, weight changes, or overwhelming exhaustion, we are here to help. Most importantly, we listen first—because no two postpartum journeys are the same.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide grounded, holistic perinatal care that empowers families to thrive. We believe that when mothers are supported, families flourish. Therefore, every service we offer is rooted in respect, education, and genuine connection.
Good Earth Perinatal Wellness is proud to be woman-owned, LGBTQ-friendly, and a member of the Louisiana Doula Registry. Through inclusive care and community-focused support, we aim to normalize postpartum help and restore it as an essential—not optional—part of family wellness.

Birth and postpartum doula care

Breastfeeding and lactation counseling

Perinatal nutrition and wellness planning

Childbirth education and preparation

Emotional support and mental wellness check-ins
As a result, parents feel supported not only in moments of crisis, but also in everyday decision-making.
Good Earth Perinatal Wellness proudly serves Houma, Thibodaux, and surrounding South Central Louisiana communities. In addition, virtual services allow us to support families across the state. Because accessibility matters, we strive to make compassionate postpartum care available to as many families as possible.
