What is included?

Three Postpartum Visits in your home
(each visit around 3 hours)

Visit One - If you have had a hospital birth, I will visit your home ideally before, or shortly after, you arrive home and ensure that you have the comforting welcome that you, Warrior Mother, deserve. I will take care of the household chores that are screaming to be attended to, like washing up, tiding up the kitchen, bathroom freshen up and stripping all beds and remaking them with fresh bed linen. I will do any lingering laundry and leave fresh flowers and a beautiful aroma in your home. Obviously, if you’ve had a home birth, I will create an ambiance to honour the occasion.
I will prepare and arrive carrying a home-cooked meal with emphasis on your Postpartum needs and leave it in your fridge, with some tea & lactation cookies.

Visit Two - With the desire to support you in the most positive way, I will return at a time suitable to you. You may have a definite idea of how I can help you, or you may feel completely overwhelmed and teary. In any case, I have the skills & intuition to meet you where you are at when I arrive.
Perhaps a nice cup of tea and listening ear may be initially needed, followed by a hot shower or herbal bath with no distractions (I will keep my eye on baby), or a power nap! If you are in the mood for a massage, or belly binding, I can do that!

I will help you let go of unhelpful thoughts, feelings & judgement, by helping you boost your levels of oxytocin, your ‘feel good’ hormone, shift mindset, and help you find & build your village whilst working on a self-care plan. I can do some light household chores. I will encourage, reassure & support your own maternal intuition to direct you to the needs & cares of your baby, typically feeding, settling and sleeping. I will leave you with two home-cooked meals in your fridge and I can pick up some groceries on the way to your home.

Visit Three - This visit will reflect the needs as outlined in Visit Two, with the additional options of these services:

Full body one hour Relaxation or Remedial Massage. I am a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist.
Comprehensive Teaching & Guiding you through the skills to engage Baby Massage as part of your daily routine. I am a certified Baby Massage Instructor.
I will leave you with two home-cooked meals in your fridge, prepared before I arrive.
