Postpartum Care Packages
I’m so happy you are here and looking into gifting yourself care during such an important and special time in your life.
My packages all include two pregnancy sessions and then a varied amount of postpartum sessions, depending on what you are wanting,
Pregnancy Sessions
Pregnancy sessions will be during your second and/or third trimester. We will meet twice to get to know each other more, to clarify your dream for postpartum and to lay a basic foundation around why postpartum is such a crucial time. We will talk about the physiology of postpartum Mothers, and why rest, appropriate care, deep nourishment and support are needed in this time. As well as about postpartum specific foods, practices and people that will be available to support you and your family in creating a safe and supported postpartum experience.
Postpartum care is community care. Our time together in pregnancy is about drawing upon all the resources you have to make a plan which will support you walking into your new role of Mother in as much honour & nourishment as possible. This can be an area of grief for many Mothers in the modern world who don’t have access to the level of community care they would like/ultimately need. If this is you, our work together will be meeting reality as it is. I will support you to feel through this all, and we will create our plan around what is available to you. Having the support and nurturance of a postpartum caregiver when you have access to little other support is incredibly beneficial.
Your partner is very welcome to join for either one or both of these meetings.
In-home Postpartum Visits
Once your baby is born we will have in-home visits once a week for 4-6 weeks, for three hours each time. Each visit I will bring a nourishing postpartum meal (6ish serves), two litres of herbal infusions, and a dessert/snack (12-15 serves). Our time together will differ depending on what you are needing that day.
Some of the practices we may turn to in support of your healing are: vaginal steaming, sitz baths, womb moxabustion, castor oil packs, warm oil rub, empathy/presence for you to talk through your birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding experience, food prep, light cleaning/tidying, closing of the bones ceremony & celebration of you in your transition into Motherhood, for the first or fifth time (I suggest this as the last session). I am experienced in being with newborns, and am happy to support with your baby if needed, including elimination communication (EC) support (a real passion of mine!). While we have all these practices we can turn to if desired, my main intention in our time together is to hold you as the newborn Mother. I know this is a time of great change, which can hold many waves of feeling. I am here as a support as you move through it.
From when we begin our work together during pregnancy, and throughout postpartum, we can stay in contact via Whatsapp/email.
If you have any questions, or you wish to arrange a free meeting to see if we are good fit, please contact me.
