The first 42 days after birth set the stage for her next 42 years.”

How to work with me:
POSTPARTUM CARE
No two births are the same and no two mothers’ journeys are the same, therefore you are guaranteed to be provided care that is tailored to you! The type of birth you experience is always taken in account along with your physical and emotional needs and wishes. The healing modalities offered are rooted in what all mothers require according to the physiology of the postpartum time - these traditional practices are proven to aid and support mothers’ recovery.
I recommend contacting me prior to your birthing day so we can discuss and plan your care. Mothers who feel well supported going into birth and the fourth trimester feel much more positively about their experience. HOWEVER, care can always be arranged quickly for any mumma wanting/Needing it - whether she is 2 weeks, 3 months, 10 months or 5 years Postbirth!
Postpartum Care is also for mothers who have experienced a miscarriage, stillborn or death of their baby after birth during ANY trimester - all women should be cared for no matter the outcome - please contact me directly for support and healing care. Your body and mind need healing just has much as any other mother!!!

ALWAYS!!! While the modalities I offer are rooted in the physiological and physiologic design of newborn mothers - every mother and family’s needs and wants are different. We will prepare for the time after your baby arrives, and then factors such as your birth experience will be taken into consideration afterwards and the care will be altered if need be.

Your partner, family, and close friends are essential to your postpartum care.
This will be a key element in our initial sessions together - a special person who will be with you after your baby is born is welcome to join us in our sessions so they are fully on board with why this care is so important to your short and long term health and well-being. But if they are unable to make it, that is okay - you will have plenty to take home and discuss with them. But it is important they are in-the-know.
