Postpartum Care
This offering is a culmination of the last 13 years of studying, learning and supporting women in varying stages of their lives. Whilst most aspects of womanhood are vastly under supported in our modern society, the postpartum time is one of the most impactful. Many women, after their first postpartum experience, are realising firsthand just how difficult it is to navigate this time without adequate support. Your partner and your mother/mother in law is not enough. We truly do need a village to support a mother to thrive and as most of us do not have this village we need support from outside our families & friends.
​
I offer mother centered care, rooted in supporting your physiology and inspired by cross cultural traditions that support thriving life. There is a reason that postpartum care traditions across the world are similar, they support our physiology and are focused on what mum and baby need to thrive not just survive.
​
My intention is to offer a non judgemental space where you can be you, just as you are, in that raw messiness of postpartum. The care I offer will always be tailored to your needs and can include any or all of the following:
Emotional support
Bodywork
Warm nourishing food
Breastfeeding support
Light housework & childcare​​​​​
Postpartum Care Package: The First Forty Days
Supporting you during the first forty days with weekly visits for six weeks
​
What's included?
-
Planning your postpartum time: A visit to your home during your third trimester to discuss the best ways to support your postpartum time, including the support I will offer as well as ways for your family and friends to support you.
-
6 weekly visits: Each visit will last around 3 hours and will be very much guided by what the mother needs. We will have time to discuss your birth and anything that is coming up during your postpartum. I may offer bodywork, meditations or gentle movement to support your healing. You may wish for me to care for the baby whilst you shower or nap. I will always bring you a nourishing home cooked meal and offer a light clean in the house where needed.
-
Closing of the Bones: Our last visit will include a closing of the bones ceremony, a gentle wrapping of your body with the intention of closing the first forty days.
​
Total Cost: £650
I offer a 30 minute free phone consultation to help you decide if I am the right person to support you postpartum
